It's unclear if that would involve drone strikes, special forces raids, or ordinary infantry troops.Here is quotes from Eric Holder, when asked about this:
The Obama administration, Holder said, rejected the use of military force where "well-established law enforcement authorities in this country provide the best means for incapacitating a terrorist threat." But in theory, it'd be legal for the president to order such an attack under certain circumstances, Holder said.
"The question you have posed is therefore entirely hypothetical, unlikely to occur, and one we hope no president will ever have to confront. It is possible, I suppose, to imagine an extraordinary circumstance in which it would be necessary and appropriate under the Constitution and applicable laws of the United States for the President to authorize the military to use lethal force within the territory of the United States," Holder wrote.This is just sickening.......
I, for one, would like to make it clear to any government...heroes...who might be reading this that I fully support their violent, murderous, and patriotic policies. That's right guys, no need to send drones this way...I'm totally on your side.

DeleteThe National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive proposed by George Bush and passed by Congress in 2007 allows the President to do exactly that when responding to a “severe’ threat as determined by the President. Scary
ReplyDeleteI'll have to look that up.....
