How Rand Paul's Attempted Filibuster Hurt Our Right Not to be Labeled As Terrorists.

        In my humble opinion Sen Rand Paul's attempted filibuster of the use of drones to murder American citizens on American soil did nothing more than allow the president to make the claim that he has the power, as long as the FISA courts agree, to make that call. No president should ever have the right to kill an American citizen anywhere in the world, much less on American soil, without due process of the law. That person, no matter what he is accused of, should be able to have his side of the story heard. Once a person has been accused of speaking against the government, that will become a reason to call him a terrorist or an enemy of the state, worthy of death by invisible drone strike.
      The reason those establishment republicans spoke out against Mr. Paul is because they want the president to have this power for whenever their party has control of the government again. That way they can really be rid their enemies (anybody who oppoes them) permanently. You may not want to believe this, but it's true. There have been no other times when the establishment republicans have had any intestinal fortitude to challenge any tea party member until now.  And other than this or cutting defense appropriations they never will again. This should ring some kind of alarm in everybody's head! America, don't allow your president to claim he has the right to order the death of any American citizen without benefit of an attorney and trial. no matter where he is.
    When I witnessed how the Los Angeles Police Department murdered that ex-police officer( Dornin) in the middle of the night when they knew everyone was sleeping it took me aback. They waited until cover of night and then burned the house he was holed up in, down around him. Why didn't they just wait him out.  Whatever he had to say will never be known. And that's how they wanted it. This is the same thing that will happen should the federal government be allowed to label people as terrorists at will. Be careful America! We're treading on dangerous ground!
