When the President does it, it\u2019s not illegal. And when the President decides that acts of crime\u2013or suspected crime\u2013committed by, oh, the sort of people currently causing such headaches for the IRS with their prayers and Planned Parenthood protests and uppity ways are likewise \u201cterror\u201d there is nothing but custom and the rapidly eroding sense that \u201cthe President just wouldn\u2019t go there\u201d to keep him from going there.<\/p>\n

If the economy *really* implodes, our Ruling Class would not hestitate for a second to turn on its own citizenry domestically the powers it is already turning on citizens abroad.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut these people are Bad Guys\u201d. Well yes. So the Administration tells us. So were Jeffrey Dahmer and Charles Manson and John Wayne Gacy and Timothy McVeigh and Sirhan Sirhan and John Hinckley, Jr (who tried to kill the Commander-in-Chief and today would certainly be called a \u201cterrorist\u201d). To paraphrase Uncle Billy, \u201cNot every heel is in Pakistan and Yemen.\u201d But if \u201cHe\u2019s a bad guy according to the people who killed him\u201d is now sufficient for the President to get away with ordering their death\u2013even the death of a sixteen year old boy \u201cnot specifically targeted by the United States\u201d then nothing but custom and the fading notion that the State can\u2019t do that to us stands in the way of the state doing it to us.<\/p>\n

Yet ironically, the very people being targeted by the IRS are often the same people who spent a decade cheering most loudly for the state\u2019s claim that if we will give it the power to indefinitely detain, torture and murder people in the name of \u201csecurity\u201d, it will keep us safe.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
