Gene Healy on Obama’s Executive Death Warrants
Credit: WhiteHouse.govFor three years now, thanks to White House leaks,
we've known that President Barack Obama claims the right to
summarily execute American citizens far from any battlefield. He
even joked about it at the annual White House Correspondents
Association dinner in 2010, telling the Jonas Brothers to stay away
from his daughters: "Two words for you: 'predator drones.' You will
never see it coming." But as Gene Healy explains, this is no
laughing matter. Obama's drone strikes are an affront to the entire
Anglo-American constitutional order.
