The office of President of the United States becomes more and more like that of an emperor. Now he declares the power to order the killing of American citizens who are thought to be involved in terror. Don’t worry — Eric Holder assures us that this power will always be used responsibly. Tim Lynch has a good post on this, citing law professor Jonathan Turley.
What if the ordered attack happens to kill or wound innocent people? Could they sue the president?
Liberals of old used to care about such matters as the rule of law and dangerous expansions of executive power. Now that one of their own is in power, they’re mostly silent.
