Would it be constitutional to drone-blast an innocent grandmother while she was walking her toy dog across the street? Why can’t Eric Holder answer this question? Why is it so difficult for him to straightforwardly admit that the president doesn’t have the power to drone-blast innocent grandmothers who are walking their dogs? Let’s say that you are sitting at a sidewalk table at a trendy cafe in Houston, Texas. Is there any reason at all that the president can’t drone-blast you to hell? Imagine that you are sleeping at home in bed with visions of sugar-plums dancing in your head. Is there any restriction that would prevent the president from killing you absent an immediate threat?
