Last week, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul stood on the floor of the U.S. Senate and spoke out in opposition to the use of drones to kill Americans without due process of law.

Regardless of your stand on much of what the Obama Administration has done over the past four-plus years, you have to admit that’s a pretty scary thought. Rarely, it seems, agencies of the federal government are willing to work together in a coordinated effort, unless of course, they are planning to trample on the rights of ordinary citizens.

It doesn’t matter if the President of the United States at the time has an “R” or a “D” behind his name, especially when it can be done in the name of “security.”
