Eric Holder: President Obama can kill you if he decides to

Taking a slight break from The Second Amendment, sorta, allow me to presnet this little bit of dangerous governance to you.

Eric Holder,US Attorney General, has said that indeed, President Obama can kill you if he wants to.

Seriously, I can't make this stuff up.

From a letter to Senator Rand Paul (R- KY), AG Eric Holder states:

“The U.S. government has not carried out drone strikes in the United States and has no intention of doing so,” Holder assured Paul in the March 4, 2013 letter. The attorney general also underlined that “we reject the use of military force where well-established law enforcement authorities in this country provide the best means for incapacitating a terrorist threat.”

Holder added: “The question you have posed is therefore entirely hypothetical, unlikely to occur, and one we hope no President will ever have to confront."

But "it is possible, I suppose to imagine an extraordinary circumstance in which it would be necessary and appropriate under the Constitution and applicable laws of the United States for the President to authorize the military to use lethal force within the territory of the United States," Holder said. "For example, the President could conceivably have no choice but to authorize the military to use such force if necessary to protect the homeland in the circumstances of a catastrophic attack” like Pearl Harbor or 9/11.

“Were such an emergency to arise, I would examine the particular facts and circumstances before advising the President on the scope of this authority,” said Holder.

Paul, whose office released the letter, denounced the attorney general’s comments.

"The U.S. Attorney General's refusal to rule out the possibility of drone strikes on American citizens and on American soil is more than frightening—it is an affront the Constitutional due process rights of all Americans," the senator said in a statement.

Now then.

Tell me again how nutty you believe it is for many of us to look to The Second Amendment in times like this.

Exactly.

This is The New America 2013, under the influence of a borderline out-of-control government and Presidential Administration. For a sitting American President to have his AG reveal that he would kill Americans on American soil is repugnant.

Long Live the Republic, indeed.
