Extraordinary Circumstances
So Eric Holder says that in extraordinary circumstances, the president can have Americans killed on American soil. And what are these extraordinary circumstances? We’ll just leave that to the imagination. I’m guessing something involving low poll numbers.
What do you think those extraordinary circumstances are?

Aide: “Mr. President, the House has a counter-proposal on the budget.”
Obama: “Really? Why, what an extraordinary situation!”
Aide: “I don’t see th. . . oh. OH. I’ll get right on it.”

“If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on
government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be
administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first
enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it
to control itself. A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control
on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary
precautions.
“…. On ordinary occasions it [executive power] might not be exerted with the requisite firmness, and on extraordinary occasions it might be perfidiously abused.”
-Publius, Federalist Papers #51.
Yep, *those* extraordinary occasions.

In light of these new revelations, I am beginning to understand why John Roberts found Obamacare constitutional.
March 6th, 2013 at 6:04 pm
And I’m starting to understand the reasoning for the Obama Census takers recording the GPS coordinates of every resident in this country.
Oh sure, there may be some collateral damage in large apartment complexes and nursing homes and such, but hey, I’m pretty sure that rules of engagement won’t apply.
March 6th, 2013 at 6:34 pm
And what are these extraordinary circumstances?
Disagreeing with Barry
Not thinking that Michelle O is the most fantastically beautiful female in the history of the galaxy
Bitterly clinging to your guns and your Bible
Being a veteran – you know how those veterans are all potential terrorists who need to be watched
Thinking that Marxism works really great for ants, bees, and wasps, but not for humans
Being any minority who voted Republican or Libertarian
Not being a union member
Not willing to submit to allah
Thinking that the pREsident of the United States is required to follow the Constitution
March 6th, 2013 at 6:47 pm
Extraordinary circumstances such as: thinking ‘bad thoughts’ about Obama; noticing that he is a liar, a racist and a foreign enemy; being a poster at IMAO; failing to buy a car that runs on batteries.
March 6th, 2013 at 7:21 pm
Obama replied, “Look, constitutionally I ca’t rendition you, but I can extraordinarily rendition your ass all the way to Saudi Arabia if I want to!”
March 6th, 2013 at 7:55 pm
Insisting on a literal interpretation of your Constitutional Rights.

No, Jimmy, that is totally acceptable. http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Turf-Battles–132355253.html

Well, maybe we should start talking VERY seriously about this, Crabby.
Various non-military, U.S. government agencies now have 100,000′s of firearms, 1.6 billion bullets in their inventory and 2600 light armored vehicles on order. With the huge increase in the use of surveillance drones by many agencies, why would Obama and his administration want the LEGAL right to perform drone strikes against U.S. citizens within the United States?
I can only think of one reason: they expect an armed insurrection. This isn’t just Obama. These are the increasingly paranoid “powers that be” in Washington who want this. The filibuster that Rand Paul is conducting right now is by a small group of objectors.
March 6th, 2013 at 9:34 pm
Watch Rand Paul (et al) live right now:

“It worked great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in the sight of men;… and it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast so that the image of the beast should even speak, and to cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain.”
