some sort of actual trial?
http://www.neptunuslex.com/2010/10/01/extrajudicial/
Where are they today, these constitutional purists, as our Commander-in-Chief avidly pursues the extrajudicial execution of an American citizen living overseas and denies judicial review?

I agree with Lex that the guy is a turd and has no redeeming social value. But is he at the moment an imminent threat to the USA?
And it is assasination, which I thought at one time our government had decided it would not engage in. I was not sure I agreed with that decision, and am still not sure I am either opposed to it or just wondering if this is not the administration I want deciding whom to off and whom not to.
So? What says APS?
stay safe.

I trust BHO as a Constitutional scholar and defender about as much as I would trust Stalin in the same role.

I'm of the opinion that the US Government has no right/authority to execute or assassinate any US Citizen, abroad or domestically, without a proper trial. Unless he's bearing arms on the battlefield against the US. At which point, it's not an execution or assassination.
However, if a citizen renounces his citizenship to our country, that's another deal entirely.
