Un-Born US Citizens vs/ Terrorist US Citizens -

I hear a lot about the 'poor ' US 'citizen' al Awlaki (trainer of Ft. Hood muslim murderer-trainer of 9-11 murders etc) and how he should not have been eliminated from the earth's atmosphere-
Ron Paul- lost me - on his take of same---OKKKKKKKK-

Bachmann-Cain at this point-

agree w/ Paul on many issues that line up w/ the Constitution (original intent) but- his stand that Anwar al Awlaki ( the US terrorist trainer -Ft Hood- 9-11 ) should not have been killed but -rather -tried in US court system – rendered him ‘scratched’ from my list–

Carol-CS: That’s an interesting and, in my opinion, repugnant stance on the issue. Anwar was a United States citizen. Neither President nor the Congress are empowered by the Constitution to assassinate United States citizens–not even foreign citizens! Even traitors must be tried in a court of law, regardless of the threat they pose.

It’s one thing to point a gun at the President and be shot in defense/response; it’s another thing altogether to be put on a list for extermination. Never acceptable under American law. Do you really want a precedent set for the federal government to “take out,” say, extreme right-wingers in Texas to save the expense of FBI probes and silly trials-by-jury

# 43-”Neither President nor the Congress are empowered by the Constitution to assassinate United States citizens–not even foreign citizens”

Un-born – US citizens are being ‘assassinated’ – murdered- by the thousands -and w/ the use use of tax-payer $$$ (Planned Parenthood – to name one group of murderers) – I do not hear ‘out-rage’ -do you…

Carol-CS: Um…yes? I do hear outrage–from a rather significant pro-life movement.

But seriously, what a non-sequitur. What does abortion have to do with the constitutionality of assassination?

as I am a leader in the pro-life movement- I can attest to the fact that people are waking up to the issue-
as to your —-” But seriously, what a non-sequitur.”

My comparison to the shedding of INNOCENT blood vs/ the shedding of terrorist blood is VERY LOGICAL!!-
Remember – the Creator asked- ‘What are YOU doing about un-just judges and the shedding of innocent blood—” IS .-59

and speaking of un – just JUDGES !!!!
– the power and $ of CAIR – and other muslim groups -
would have prolonged Anwar al Awlaki ‘s trial for YEARS—

As to the Constitution ( original intent) – it has been relegated due to lack of instruction of Founding HIStory- by the public -(tax payer $$$$$) education system —for years now-

I want to hear the out cry for the UN BORN US citizens TAKEN OUT w/o a trial !!!

As to our CONSTITUTION-it is a GRAND DOCUMENT- no longer followed- no longer taught!!
