Killing an American citizen without due process on that logic ought to be grounds for impeachment. Is that the real answer? Or would the Obama Administration like to clarify its reasoning? Any Congress that respected its oversight responsibilities would get to the bottom of this.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;m so glad that the Electoral College means that my vote does not count.<\/p>\n<p>My only question is who I write in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despicable beyond belief How do you justify justify the targeting and killing of an American citizen for whom there have been no allegations of terrorism?
