well recently we gave her a lot of credit or and paul republican of
kentucky for being constitutional hero and uh... standing up
for uh... against idea that the u_s_ government be allowed to do drone
strikes on u_s_ soil against u_s_ citizens even when there is not an
imminent threat that was an outrageous
uh... loophole that uh...
it's not even a loophole it's just that
that uh... the government seem to be claiming
and when every asking about a mother was president bomber attorney joe there
colder they were dance around the issue they were never clearly answered
in fact in a letter and paul
attorney general holder
me pretty clear that he believed that they didn't have that authority
later after thirty hour filibuster attorney general holder backpedal from
that's day looking at about a specific imminent threat
explicitly using intro nga experiences on u_s_ or on although circumstances
or perhaps it might be okay
or enough to serve says it's not ok
but on the other circumstances god knows what it's okay and by the way they've
already executed u_s_ citizens three of them
they just weren't on u_s_ soil no trial
no due process a drone on top of their all right now
we have democratic constitutional here's there also stepping in here
and they listen five things and they settle up to the president
saying that they are very concerned about
these drawings are being happen the war on terror as an unbounded geographic
scope
i'm eating that
there is no specific battlefield and it could also be a fun u_s_ too
unidentified high-level officials
with authority to approve kilts
the same give that killed list editor at u_s_ citizens on it
and we don't even know who's made a decision on that killers
you've got on identified high-level officials
usages trust us up
well these democratic heroes are saying we don't trust you you don't have that
authority
number three
that they need to find evidence you know whether a captors feasible
where they are right
because if you know white papers that were released
and i was only through the media and it's not their official legal
justifications is a summary of some of the legal justifications
when we find out
well we find that well
if we think it's feasible we might capture them
there is no standard for what's feasible
so it's just told me up to us
could we have gotten christopher and order in that cabin
maybe was feasible maybe it wasn't
soon we might be able to drop a bomb on the set
uh... and by the way that's exactly what we do in pakistan in yemen
we don't even bother trying to land on the ground except for some the loan
and that's why praise a bill on capture
so much badges because we got them on which was great we did the right way
lenin guys on the ground we made sure was him and we got
now number four cancer
and overly broad definition of the phrase imminent threat welded memo
explains
an imminent threat is nice thread that is necessarily event
how's that for a letters
they say it might not be immediate
in other words cabinet brett i don't like that guy
i think he might do something later the catcher might not be feasible
drona sir
number five
the suggestion that killing american citizens and others would be legitimate
under the authorization
for use of military force and they inherit right itself the facts
hell no
that is not
the legitimate way to kill the u_s_ citizens
so who are these constitutional heroes
representative john conyers serbs of donna edwards for thirty thousand
role granola rush holt my comment is the governor
all democrats
uh... all-star progressives
and hears of a protein or bombers in the letter to all bali said
the demand that obama releasing
in an unclassified form with full legal base of the zeiger branch claims in the
areas
which of the subject of this letter and that's uh...
we talk about before
and they went as far as say remembers that present of their own party
quote that you set a in dangerous precedent
and finally they said he must follow through with his commitment to engage
with congress to shore the ways in which we targeted team trusted and kill
suspected terrorists
are consistent with the commands of our constitution
including our system of checks and balance
now look at this a little bit more courage
thereafter
the present in your own party and these true progresses
people actually care about the constitution
or doing that
and they deserve all the credit in the world as much credit certainly as we do
you bring paul
uh... earlier for his good fight on this ish
they're not alone
there's one more constitutional europe
former bill clinton's staff john podesta
now he was the center for american progress now
look he's in
very tied into this tablet you have to understand that so for him to step out
on the slim is also an act of bravery and in fact the strong he spoke very
strongly awash in the post
column other just came out it said
quote bill obama administration
is wrong to withhold these documents from congress
and then they're good people remember these are the legal justifications
for killing u_s_ citizens
without a trial without due process
now why this after the season in fact the death of talks about that
first he says
this is why i say respectfully give them up mister president referring to the
legal memos
he says look i was chief of staff
final cut the citizen in a by know that you have to protect
operational information obviously
but he says quote
protected he protecting technical means
human sources operational details and intel his mother's
can not be an excuse for creating secret law to guide our institutions
for former chief of staff
to present to come out
until president his own party
the you are operating under secret law
at its heavy language
and well-deserved by the way he's absolutely right about
he continues
in keeping this information
from the american people
he's undermining the nation's ability
to be a leader on the world stage in his acting in opposition
to the democratic principles we hold most important
again very strong language
say hey enough is enough there is no reason in the world
why we should have secret laudanum oxen like the united states of america
al-qaeda gains nothing by knowing what our laws are
we all need to know what our laws are
it is not operational at all that is an incredibly weak excuse
there's no reason why should be classified
he allegedly said okay now you're under arrest
okay well an arrest for noticing for loss or we can tell you the region
in this case it or even a rescue they execute
and it wont data from not to allay we're here to there was no trial
and what what what what do you see below
the desiccant clues them eric and people
have the right to know
the laws they live on
under percent right
and present all bomb on this issue is one hundred percent wrong
on this issue godbless ramp all god bless those
a progressive democrats who fought back against president
goblets jump investor is the people who understand
for the united states constitution stands for
