re: #283 Thanos

The problem with your arguments is that they don’t pass constitutional muster. He’s committed a crime over US soil, and ergo. The only way I can see around this dilemma is for Congress to created historic precedent and actually declare war on a non state organization. If congress were to declare war on an extra national entity such as Al Qaeda, it might make some things easier and lend focus to our battle.
At some point in the fast approaching future I expect that most militant groups will be Non-state organizations, so I do not fear that precedent.

Somehow congress has no problem with the annoying “War On Drugs” or the even more inane concept of the “War On Terror”….
