Attorney General Eric Holder said in a letter Tuesday that Obama
administration believes it could "hypothetically" carry out drone
strikes against Americans on U.S. soil, but "has no intention of doing
so."
The letter — sent to Republican Senator Rand Paul in response to his question about the
constitutionality of drone strikes on U.S. soil — has predictably ignited new
debate over Obama's drone policy.
But what is truly alarming about
Holder's letter is not his position, but his vague, almost supercilious,
dismissal of the drone question itself.
Here's the key passage:
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. For example, the president could conceivably have no choice but to
authorize the military to use such force if necessary to protect the homeland
in the circumstances like a catastrophic attack like the ones suffered on
December 7, 1941, and September 11, 2001.
The fact that Holder
"supposes" anything about the constitutionality of using military
force against U.S. citizens suggests that he hasn't given the question much
thought — an alarming admission for the government's chief lawyer.
Holder's answer amounts to wishful thinking, indicating a lack of
preparedness should these "catastrophic" circumstances
arise.
