My view on this topic is that we have "Domestic" enemies of the Constitution and they are in high office. Start wearing your dog tags again folks.

The murder is also a war crime and human rights violation under international law, particularly because of the age of this victim (and others murdered with him).<br /> <br /><br />Obama and Holder are not really advancing a novel due process interpretation. This is personal--they are abusing their power to evade culpability. .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3980421295592818922.post-53789481252697885912012-03-07T08:54:10.721-08:002012-03-07T08:54:10.721-08:00America's version of the Nuremburg Laws.

Muslims are officially lesser citizens.<br /><br />Now that the cops and Feds have mapped out all the Muslim businesses, mosques, and homes, when will the American Kristalnacht occur? Or, will it be a virtual version of the Japanese internment camps? A drone for every citizen Muslim? Is that why Obama legalized domestic drones, to coincide with the end of due process?<br /><br />Perhaps we'll see as soon as Obama pulls the trigger on the Middle East war. <br /><br />Fascinating how the media and political parties--and the public-- are marching in lockstep behind the President.<br /><br />As much 1934 as 1984.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3980421295592818922.post-7834418138511339842012-03-06T12:06:33.989-08:002012-03-06T12:06:33.989-08:00Given what we know of the military/CIA makeup of t...Given what we know of the military/CIA makeup of the National Security Council, plus Obama's signing of the anti-Constitutional indefinite detention without trial law, I see Holder's speech as more an acknowledgment of a partial coup d'etat. <br /><br />What stays constant is the power of the military/CIA to murder and detain Americans without due process of law, either at home or abroad. Presidents and AG's come and go, but the military's power to crush democracy increases despite changes in administrations.<br /><br />Perhaps unintentionally, Holder is just alerting Americans to the real anti-democratic power shift that has already taken place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3980421295592818922.post-90208984607334628162012-03-06T08:59:27.089-08:002012-03-06T08:59:27.089-08:00A victory for the 1%.

Obama replaces judges and juries with people like Wall Street lackey Tim Geithner, giving them the ultimate power.<br /><br />It's particularly sad to listen to elite African-Americans like Holder and Obama disparage due process, the heart of the 14th Amendment Their Klanish arguments are not <br />so novel in US history.<br /><br />Of course what they are doing is telling both Muslims and the 99% that we have fewer rights than they do. Consider the brutal suppression of Occupy's civil liberties, the illegal surveillance of Muslims at prayer, and there is little difference in Obama's policy at home and abroad.<br /><br />We no longer have a democracy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3980421295592818922.post-38054636485462594272012-03-06T07:06:22.552-08:002012-03-06T07:06:22.552-08:00Here is what the head of the US Justice (!)

Department believes about due process:<br /><br />It doesn't involve access to the courts, or judgment by our peers, despite hundreds of years of such protections since the Magna Carta in Anglo-American law, the explicit guarantees and separation of powers structure in the US Constitution, and hundreds of years of US Supreme Court interpretation.<br /><br />Instead, "due process of law" now means a secret meeting of the NSC, members appointed by the Executive, a body not even mentioned in the Constitution, whose decisions can be neither known nor appealed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3980421295592818922.post-8131738195110112192012-03-06T06:38:27.922-08:002012-03-06T06:38:27.922-08:00"The constitution guarantees due process, not..."The constitution guarantees due process, not judicial process."<br /><br />This is what Fascism sounds like.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
