The Paul Filibuster Highlights Extreme Executive Powers Claimed by Bush/Obama

It's been a few days since my last post - here is why. It's been far too long since I wrote for my blog Striking at the Root.

Does Obama Claim Legal Power to Kill American Citizens on American Soil Without Due Process?

He won’t answer. It’s alarming that this is now a serious question, and more alarming that it’s treated as a mundane controversy rather than an impeachable offence. Americans have pretty much lost all of the exceptionalism (liberty) they once had. We really have to start from scratch; the Republican Party won’t save us, even if led by someone relatively decent like Rand Paul.
