Infamous Executive Branch “Assassination Legal Memo” author David Barron was nominated to the First Circuit Appeals Court to be a lifetime appointed Judge by Barak Obama yesterday.
David Barron authored the notorious Office of Legal Counsel memos authorizing the assassination of an American citizen with zero due process – no court case was ever decided, no charges were ever even filed.
The memo contradicts centuries of American Justice by providing cover for any President or the CIA to murder anyone the president decides needs execution.
Commentary:
Will someone explain to me how this is any different than the Red Queen in Alice’s “Through the Looking Glass” decreeing “Off with their Heads” or a Dictator murdering opponents at a whim ?
