Sorry but I think you miss the entire point. It sounds logical to take out a 'confirmed citizen' terrorist on US soil that poses a possible threat right? Only problem is that the Government, giving sole power to any one person or executive branch to make such decisions is against the Constitution and illegal. It's the argument that those who give up liberty for security get neither. The government could suspect you are a 'possible' terrorist and arbitrarily 'take you out' because one person decides you are an extremist or pose a possible threat to the nation, ie a citizen on US soil that's undesirable. Very dangerous argument. Suppose you disagree with the Obama or any administration over an issue like gun control, which is taking away your God given right to defend yourself. You could then be considered by a single person to be a threat to the nation and eliminated. The Constitution has specific rules for the nation that are very plain. Remember Ruby Ridge, Waco, etc? Government running wild against American citizens that deserved at least a trial prior to being executed. This is how rogue governments act - time to re read the Constitution. If a person doesn't like the Constitution then change it or move to a place like Venezuela where Dictatorships rule. Rand Paul along with Ted Cruz believe in the Constitution and they are giving a class to Congress on the rules provided to be a free society. Everyone should listen to the discussion and be reeducated on the principles that protect us all from oppressive and tyrannical governments. And this argument is not about something as mundane as the 'dislike' of paying taxes - it's about our individual liberties and the Constitutional protections provided for every single American citizen, the good, the bad, and the ugly. And if WSGI is working with DHS to allow drone strikes on US soil against any American citizen not afforded the right of trial, I will dump my shares held for over 8 years, period. It's not all about money - it's about the survival of our Republic.
