Holder: Obama Can Target US Citizens on US Soil for Killing

[OldDem2012]

80. You need to do a little better homework on the people you reference in your posts on DU....

...Turley is a right-winger posing as an impartial Constitutional scholar. He interprets the Constitution exactly like the right-wingers on the SCOTUS. That makes a TON of difference to me.

But no, I don't believe in ruling out a weapon system for use in the US if the situation warrants it. It's not a right-wing or left-wing policy, it's a homeland defense policy.

Here's a scenario for you:

Let's say a group of US citizens attack a critical US facility on US soil, kill all of the occupants, and occupy the structure taking up defensive positions. The facility is surrounded by several other buildings containing US civilian and military personnel You discover that they are fully equipped with automatic weapons, handguns, body armor, and gas masks.

You're the commander and you've been ordered to retake the facility. Choose one of the following for use against the occupied structure:

1. Assault using troops only
2. Assault using a mix of armored vehicles and troops

....expect to take losses among your personnel and possibly among people in the surrounding structures...

3. Assault using attack helicopters, armored vehicles, and troops
4. Assault using a strike aircraft armed with a laser-guided projectile

....expect to take losses among your personnel and among people in the surrounding structures...

5. Assault using a drone

....expect to take no losses among your personnel and very few people in the surrounding structures.

Your choice....what do you do?
