Judge: Feds can hide rationale for killing U.S. citizen

[Maedhros]

6. Here is what I just don't get:

Democratic partisans will wail and gnash their teeth over the abominable things the Republicans do.

But if one accepts and supports that the President can declare a citizen an enemy of state based upon secret allegations of secret crimes, then proceed to execute that citizen without due process, then on what basis does one criticize the Republicans?

This is, in effect, the legalization of proscription lists (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proscription), which were first popularized by such notables as Lucius Corneluis Sulla and Lucius Julius Caesar.

To accept this behavior by the President of the United States is to accept that the Republic has transitioned to Empire. "Hail, Caesar!" is not a proper response.
