re: #377 Decatur Deb

Our discussion is going cattywumpus somewhere. The notional ‘planning session’ I spoke of would be one of the real sessions going on outside the reach of our law. On our soil, a drone strike would be absurd. We have lots of less destructive options.

My entire discussion - spun off the start where I said I find myself in appalling agreement with the wingnut-moonbat intersection - has been domestic.

I have issues with it overseas, but it’s a much more difficult discussion. It’s difficult for me because at this point in time I have no confidence there’s a line regarding domestic use of assassination (another possible cattywumpus point.) It seems silly to exclude drones if that leaves other methods - easier methods within the US - open. So that’s the bright line I find myself asking for.

I want to know that at least the same rule for excluding suspension of habeas corpus applies to domestic assassination, and preferably that there is a means of review or oversight in a branch not beholden to the administration. I want a check, a balance, and a place I can trust to stand for domestic use. Then I’ll look at other issues.
