EXCLUSIVE: Justice Department Memo Reveals Legal Case For Drone Strikes On Americans - MSNBC

179. I'm all for arrest, but that was domestic and much of what we are talking about isn't, so the

possibilities of arrest are limited by international and regional factors that could be beyond our control for reasons that are both international and domestic, e.g. the real antagonism toward the World Court.

As far as domestic arrests are concerned, with recent developments about extremist support for 2nd Amendment groups who have been active in promoting armed violence for gun ownership, that is, the expressed intent to kill for guns, it appears that the same people who oppose drone programs are also saying things about watering the tree of "liberty" (ha!) with blood, so what about the rights of the rest of us who would prefer not to have that sort of thing going on around us? And what about the rights of law enforcement and our military who would prefer not to be put in that situation either? Why do we just automatically assume that just anyone who makes this claim about "the tree of liberty" is in the right? , so we should just either sign up or stand back and let that happen.

I don't see a solution here, but pretending that there isn't a problem could make things quite a bit worse.
