They are certainly fomenting an acceptable social/political environment (for the low-information citizenry) where this may become that "extreme circumstance"...TexasGal wrote:I believe this administration is certain there will be a serious breakdown of social order generally or by some groups. They obviously believe they will be able to use drone strikes on citizens without personal or political jeopardy. None of the scenarios meeting those conditions are good.
But it amazes me that the President of the United States, with the blessing of an IMPEACHED Attorney General would even be public about this position...
Killing American citizens on American soil, without due process??? Come on!!! Even the lawyers in this group know that smells like something unmentionable per the posting rules of this forum...
Some might be able to draw a very drastic conclusion in that they may very well feel threatened by the potential un-Constitutional use of deadly force in this case...Without due process...
And by "reasonably" determining that their own personal use of force and deadly force (per state law), in this case, to protect themselves, could and might very well be justified...
How that would really work is up for debate, but I think there may be some who might think like that...
Honestly, I'm just throwing out an "extreme circumstance" as a possible answer to another "extreme circumstance"...
