“The Constitution of the Unites States guarantees that we shall not be ‘deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law,’ that we have a right to trial and to be charged with a crime. But if the president of the United States, as a Columbia Law School professor described President Obama’s actions a few days ago, ‘is acting as judge, jury and executioner,’ how are we to defend ourselves? We can at least start by demanding that Capitol Hill outlaw the use of surveillance drones against the 315,279,355 presumed innocent Americans now living in the United States.”
