A real Impeachable Offense, and the Republicans are silent

An excerpt from a Buzz Flash Editorial...

As has been repeatedly noted by commentators not dazzled by the assumption of extra-judicial death warrants, it is perplexing and dismaying that a Harvard Law School grad who taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago is showing such a lethal disregard for the nation's fundamental legal document.

Deciding who shall live and who shall die is generally a power attributed to Gods in most religions; or one can go back to history before the birth of states founded on democracy, when tyrants and monarchs held absolute powers.

The authority Obama has assumed without any legislative or court permission goes well beyond the Bush/Cheney torture protocol; this is a kill list, not just a rendition order. The condemning of a person to death without due legal process, without habeas corpus, violates the Constitution in the most fundamental way. In doing so, Obama is undercutting and eroding the most basic guarantee in our legal system, at a time when the tide, ironically, is turning against capital punishment in the US.

I recomend reading the entire editorial.

So here is Obama claiming extrajudicial powers, and only leftists are screaming about this seizure of extra judicial power.

What can be a greater violation of the Constitution then claiming the right to kill ​ANY ​American, on the basis of "Trust me?

The entire Constitution is based on the rule of law, and not the arbitrary decisions of individuals.

Why are the Republicans silent? They too want this power.
