Can the U. S. Govt. Kill its Citizens on U.S. Soil Without Due Process?
1/5/1965 FBI Director Hoover considered Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. a threat to our National Security. The Due Process provisions of the Constitution protected Dr. King from being killed so the FBI tried to force him to commit suicide.
9/30/2011 Al-Awlaki, an Amer. Citizen, was killed by a Drone in Yemen; Pres. Obama had issued a death warrant 19 months earlier.
3/5/2012 Atty. Gen. Holder’s speech on the authority of Pres. Obama to order the death of an Amer. Citizen without Due Process. Professor Turley of G.W. Univ. stated in response:
“In his speech, Holder was clear… senior admin. officials have previously suggested that the Pres. may kill an Amer. anywhere and anytime, including within the U. S. Holder’s speech does not materially limit that claimed authority, but stressed that ‘our legal authority is not limited to the battlefields in Afghanistan.’ He might as well have stopped at ‘limit’ because the admin. has refused to accept any practical limitations on this claimed inherent power.”
Does Pres. Obama claim he has a right to kill Citizens in this Country?
March 8, 2012. F.B.I. Director Mueller, at a Congressional Hearing, was asked the above question. He stated “I’m going to defer that to others in the Dept. of Justice.”
A Dept. of Justice memo justifying the killing of Amer. Citizens without any Due Process will not be released by President Obama. Do we have the right to know under what circumstances President Obama says he can kill us?
1965 the most famous and important American of African Descent, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. was not killed by our government because of the right to Due Process held by all America Citizens.
In 2012 the most powerful American of African Descent, Pres. Obama, claims he alone has the authority to have American Citizens killed even on U.S. soil, without any Due Process.
