This country is going to hell in a hand basket. Our rights and liberty's are being stripped away little by little and before you know it. It will be too late WAKE UP AMERICA!!!! Your politicians are starting to act like dictators who think they know what is best for you and me. But hey u voted for them and that's ur right. The gov't is suppose to for the people by the people. Not for them and there pockets getting fatter. God bless America
Anita, who gets to decide who is a terrorist? Have you read the MIAC report? It says anyone with more than 2 weeks worth of food is a domestic terrorist. If you own gold or silver, you could be a domestic terrorist. If you are missing a finger or any other body part, you could be a domestic terrorist. Here is the USA, we have the right to a trial by our peers. One single person does not decide the immediate death penalty without due process.

If they are terrorist against Americans yes before they attack us...but they need proof or evidence they are terrorist plotting to hurt Americans...
I am personally amazed that the Democraps are standing there DEMANDING to keep the rights to kill US citizens on US soil. How does this even compute with our Constitution or civil rights? Just because no one had died YET on US soil makes this ok?
Glad to see Rand Paul make his nationwide presence. I've been covering this on my radio show over at Freedomizer Radio (http://www.freedomizerradio.com ).
BTW, you can tell it is a one party system -McShame & many other GOPs are having dinner with Barry tonight while Rand is on his marathon.

"To try to insinuate that the president and the executive branch would somehow actively use this to kill American citizens just because they have the authority is rediculous and silly"
We are saying that under the Constitution they DO NOT have the authority.
It is amazing to me that some care so little for their Constitutional rights - even the right to due process before being killed! Why is that?

Define drones. Are we talking surveillance or tactical? No to tactical, but the govt already watches us with helicopters monitoring highways (that's how I got my one and only speeding ticket) and well placed cameras. If we are talking tactical, of course not, unless the govt wants me shooting every one I see down. I will never be ruled by a King. My family is half Native American and the other half settled here in 1642, so I absolutely refuse to be ruled. I will not sit back and watch the govt use high tech ways to silence the people. It is unconstitutional and I will always be a constitutionalist first and foremost... My lineage demands such.
Little by little our government justifies its own agenda by any means to take away our rights under the constitution. We presently live in the 2nd decade of the 21st century, not the 20th or 19th. Our government has the technology to watch, listen and spy on everyone at the same time already behind our backs, which is called national security. There devices are highly classified together with the OS systems they use. However, for the drones being used against american citizens on american soil without due process is unconstitutional. As for the terrorist excuses, our government allows it to happen, don't let them fool you, remember we live in the 21st century! Once our constitutional rights have been taken, the result will be a dictatorial government, and not the socialism government that they want you to so badly believe in.

Indeed drones promise usefulness in many ways, only if they are used appropriately. As in academia, information and data are important. Usually a larger pool of data comes with more efficient and promising results or discoveries. Drones for national defense can collect tons of information without causing a life, which is good. I would also suggest a very strict control on drone operation directly from the President. I heard drone operation killed 4700 people and only captured 1 person whom was in question against the US security. The ratio is too extremely. Nevertheless, CIA is not expected to become militants, attempt to be independent from our commander in chief.
Secondly, private use of drones leads to projected crimes, risk to aircrafts etc.
It's really hard to judge. Google map is ok but not real estate agents to capture virtually.

There is ZERO use for drones outside of a theatre of war. Is the US now a war zone ? If not, the Constitution rules, and the 4th Amendment as well as the 1st Amendment cannot be abrogated. By anyone in any office or any party, Rethuglican or Demonrat.

To try to insinuate that the president and the executive branch would somehow actively use this to kill American citizens just because they have the authority is rediculous and silly. If there were nutjob citizens who were plotting an attack from the homeland, I would rather have a man we, the people, elected have the authority to act than not simply because it "sounds fishy". Don't we and more importantly the junior senator from Kentucky have better things to do than try to create controversy over something like this?

The idea that we can kill a U.S. citizen with no trial or any due process is scary. There is always a risk of failure in anything including the court system but to start denying rights because of what we assume is a slippery slope to go down. We have these rights for a reason and the fear should not motivate us to give them away.

If their is proof of an imminent attack against America then a drone attack is justified. Let's say we knew that these 19 hijackers were going to fly planes into the pentagon and world trade center it would be better to kill them then send them to trial where they might be released and do it another day! The man killed in Yemen was an American and known to plan attacks against America and if he were in America it would be justified to use a drone to kill him rather than risk him winning in court and escaping to another country to plan more attacks against America!
