Be sure to include her in your witch hunt of undesirables who dare to question the Obama administration's extrajudicial drone killings.

I will await the accusations that she is a shill for Rand Paul, Glenn Greenwald, et al.

Because we all know that if you agree with a person on a single issue on a single occasion, that ties you to them forever.

Kinda like you and John Bolton, and Dick "Heart of Darkness" Cheney, eh? Because on the single issue of drone strikes and the power of the President to implement them, you are in apparent agreement with them. And, to borrow your reasoning, that means it's about them, and you, and everyone else defending those assholes.
