Sen. Rand Paul has announced his formal intention to filibuster President Obama's nominee for CIA chief, John Brennan, if Brennan and the Obama Administration continue to refuse to answer questions about executive authority as it relates to the drone program.
Today, Sen. Paul sent what his office says is the third and final request for information.
The question that I and many others have asked is not whether the Administration has or intends to carry out drone strikes inside the United States, but whether it believes it has the authority to do so. This is an important distinction that should not be ignored.
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson
Stories like this really turn my stomach. It has been difficult to participate in political threads because of the issues this president is thrusting upon us. Having a president ponder whether he can bomb Americans for something they might do in the future was unimaginable not so long ago.
For Freedom Christ has set us free; Stand firm therefore and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1
