| Sen. Dianne Feinstein D-Calif., dismissed Sen. Rand Paul’s nearly 13 hour filibuster protesting the use of drones on American citizens on American soil. “No drone is going to be used in the United States against an American citizen walking down a street, or sitting in a cafe,” Feinstein insisted on MSNBC last night. Feinstein joined Sen. John McCain R-Ariz. ridiculing Paul for warning about a drone targeting an American dissident such as actress Jane Fonda. “And then there was the stupid example of a drone being used against Jane Fonda,” Feinstein added. “I mean,

Comments: If the situation was reversed and a Democrat had done what Paul did and used a conservaive as an example she would have been celebrating. I´m sick of these duplicitous jerks. It´s not befitting on the Senate floor?? She must have missed the outrageous, inappropriate things her buddy Dingy Harry has said on the Senate floor.

What is ridiculous is that Obama couldn´t give a straight yes or no answer if this was Constitutional.
I bet in 1935 most Germans thought it was stupid think that their socialist government would tattoo numbers on its citizens and then send them to slaughter.

What #3 said regarding Feinstein. I´m confused, however, as to "Crash" McCain. Is he saying it would have been o.k. to have napalmed her behind off that anti-aircraft gun? Or perhaps, since they were in Hanoi at the same time, he fears he could have been collateral damage.

Military-style tanks and incendiary grenades were used against innocent men, women, and children, at Waco.
Does anyone doubt that if drones had been available, Eric Holder would´ve used ´em?
One of the great ironies of today is that is was Eric Holder --not Janet Reno-- who was actually in charge of that "operation" in Waco. Holder was´ #2 at DOJ at the time.
So it´s neither "stupid" nor "absurd" to imagine a horrifying government assault on American citizens. It´s already happened.

We didn´t have drones back in 1993 did we -that didn´t start the federal government with a Democrat Prsidnet and Attorney General from using other military style weapons to attack Ruby Ridge and Waco. What is it with Democrats ignoring the US Constitution?
Ann one more thing - enough of Dr. Krauthammer using the analogy of the US Civil War to justify the use of drones on Americans in the US today.

#14 is right. The Bill Clinton administration WOULD have used drones against the Branch Davidians. They lied(perjury) on the original search warrant in order to waver posse comitatus. They used tanks against innocent women and children. They fired guns blindly through the roof into the area where there were woman and children. They purposely mutilated dead bodies with their tank treads. Firing into the buildings from drones would have been a minor addition.

Yes, they will use drones to kill Americans on US soil. They use helicopters now and thermal imaging to find people they are chasing in the woods. Someday, maybe not soon but some guy will evade arrest or maybe just be a person of interest and they Feds or the locals will use drones to find him and kill him.

Rand has tapped into a huge reservoir of powerful feelings across the spectrum.
"Taking the Good with the Bad" requires that we be willing to take the Good when it smacks us in the face.
The new heroes of the right are emerging.
I´m thrilled.
A conservative resurgence will allow for a non-violent remedy to this tyranny.
An uncontested and rigged series of wins by the left has been causing the ´pot to boil´ a bit too much.
This is a ´glimmer of hope´, at the very least.

Feinstein plays the part of a responsible legislator on t.v. but in the flesh.......grave concerns about BenGhazi that sort of petered out, etc. As for her view of Hanoi Jane, she may have warm feelings for a fellow Californian but the rest of us AVOID anything Fonda is in like the plague. Paul was right on the money to my point of view, and Donald Sutherland, just out of camera range, should also be noted.

Rand Paul may have shot himself in the foot by mentioning the possibility of taking out Jane Fonda with a drone attack. I suddenly found myself in favor of the idea.
(If we´d had the ability to take out Jane Fonda at her photo op, that would have boosted American morale so much that we might have had a decisive victory. Just saying.)

Re: Post 28 Kerry was not with Fonda in North Vietnam in 1972 when she was photographed sitting on the NVA AA gun. For that reason there is no legitimate photo of them together there.
But there is a photo of the two sitting near each other at the 1970 anti-war rally in Valley Forge, PA.
Even Snopes had to admit that photo was legitimate.
That is the event where the traitorous Kerry made his infamous "Jenjis-Khan" speech.

The leftists are fine with kill lists as long as they are making them. They don´t consider that someday a conservative will be making that list. (That will happen someday, whatever they think.) They would love the idea that Rush Limbaugh could be targeted, but are horrified that Jane Fonda might be.

I just sent the following e-mail to Senator Feinstein, unfortunately my representation in the Senate:
I strongly disagree with your statement that Senator Paul´s argument about use of drones on American citizens was "ridiculous". He was asking about a Constitutional issue, trying to get a simple yes or no answer from the Administration, about how it interprets the 5th Amendment of the Constitution. It was not specifically directed at the use of drones. I take this very personally inasmuch as supporters of the Tea Party have been categorized by Janet Napolitano as some of the greatest "threats" to homeland security. Would that categorization as a "threat" allow the government to act against Tea Party participants, for example, since it deems them to be a "threat" ? The Constitution means something, Senator, and We The People have a right to know how our Government interprets it. I am disappointed, though not surprised, that you find this expectation "ridiculous".

Memo to Media, #29, and all U.S. Senators:
Let´s clear this up. Obviously you did not LISTEN to what Senator Paul said during his filibuster. What he said was that we should NOT take out Jane Fonda on AMERICAN SOIL even if we don´t like her because she sat in a Viet Cong tank while visiting over there. Had the technology been available then, and it was known AT THE MOMENT, she would have been a fair target with the other VC.
John McCain GOT IT WRONG. No surprise there. He gets ALMOST EVERYTHING WRONG.

All it took to authorized military tanks and helicopters at Waco was to claim that drugs were involved. General Clark, commander of the 1st Cavalry Division at Ft. Hood, was happy to oblige, and then his career took off, becoming commander of NATO. Clark grew up in Little Rock, Arkansas, and was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford at about the same time as B.J. Clinton, 1968, both in the Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) program. What a coincidence. Apparently all it takes to murder large numbers of American citizens are evil politicians and ambitious military/police. We have an overabundance of both.

Well done,#4.
Also during the Clinton years was the attack on Ruby Ridge and the Weaver family. Mrs. Weaver stepped into the doorway of the cabin, while holding their infant, and she was shot dead. Their son was killed hen he went outside to see why the family dog was barking... the dog, too, was killed. --sounds like a lot of "collateral damage" for which a drone would have been even more efficient.
If the report i heard recently is correct, the pretext for the attacks was faulty in the first place... which certainly means that the family members killed did NOT enjoy their 5th Amendment Rights, their "due process."
We also know that every left-wing regime in history has used every means of oppression at its disposal.
AND, those left-wing regimes always have a gaggle of useful idiots to help them.
Our Constitution is our protection. But WE, as President George Washington said, are the protectors of it, what it guarantees.
So, when we have representatives IN government standing as champions of our Constitution (of OUR Rights and Liberty), then we honor them, and treasure them, and thank them.
And this is why we have contempt for those petty little tyrants who have squatted in Congress so long that their fiefdom is what they protect, not the People, not our Liberty.

My letter/email to the following, since he is not taking calls!
Dear Mr. McCain
Resign now! You have shown with your pathetic attempt at running for president back in 2008 and now attacking Senator Paul, that you should be removed from office for your lack of intelligence and failure at following through on your oath to Defend the Constitution. You are not fit for office.
Now you attack one of your own! Who has the right as a Senator to filibust and to bring these issues to the American people because we have a media that is in the bag for the Communist president we have in office. To expose this president for what he is, a communist/fascist/statist, pick one they are all anti liberty godless evil people. But you know that and support that! Time is running out for our Country and you sit on your thumbs.
Frankly, you were a traitor from way back in Vietnam. WE all know why you were released and got special treatment! WE all know you gave info and comfort to the enemy and continue to do so now.
You like the rest of the RINOS and traitorous democRATS in office need to be swept from office, but you as an old dinosaur have rigged the game so you can always have the win and then go home after you decide you are done filling your pockets with MY money and my fellow citizens money.
GO HOME, GO AWAY, YOU ARE A USELESS FEEBLE OLD MAN!
SENATOR RAND PAUL IS THE MAN YOU COULD NEVER BE! That is why you attack him.
Sincerely,
Randall L. Collins Attorney at Law.

It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

Attorney General Eric Holder expressed “concern” Thursday evening that black men are unfairly served with longer prison sentences than white men and that America’s prison system demands overhaul. “Too many people go to too many prisons for far too long for no good law enforcement reason,” Mr. Holder said, in remarks to the Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network in New York, Politico reported. “It is time to ask ourselves some fundamental questions about our criminal justice system. … It is time to examine our systems and determine what truly works.” Mr. Holder said in the Politico report

President Obama and other Washington politicians are getting a bum rap on TV news as money-grubbers and power-grabbers, views the president´s former top speechwriter calls lies, especially those aimed at his former boss. Jon Favreau told students at Harvard University´s Institute of Politics that TV portrays political leaders wrongly, and that the public ends up with a bad view of those in power. "I think that a lot of people turn on the news today, a lot of young people, and they hear people tell them that every motivation of every politician on either

Joyce Karam, Washington correspondent for pan-Arabic daily Al-Hayat, offers a sobering assessment on the Al-Arabiya website of the current administrations efforts in the post-”Arab Spring” Middle East. She begins by noting a how a minor recent diplomatic walkback highlights the White House’s contradictory policy: It was only fitting that the U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announces another traditional trip to the Middle East on the same day that the U.S. embassy in Cairo withdraws its tweet advancing the case for Egyptian Comedian Bassem Youssef as he faces intimidation from the Mursi government.

President Obama is eager to build public support for his health care overhaul in the few months remaining before its implementation, but waning enthusiasm from Democrats threatens his effort right out of the gate. Two-thirds of Democrats now believe Obama´s health care reforms will either hurt them personally or have no effect on their daily lives, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows. In comparison, just 27 percent of Democratic respondents said the reforms would help them. The president has long struggled to convince independent and Republican-leaning voters that his health care blueprint would lower premiums and expand insurance coverage.

RUSH: Folks, I don´t know how else to categorize this. We are living in a dying country. I don´t know how else to categorize what´s happening -- 88,000 new jobs. The unemployment rate, because of a terrible statistic, is down to 7.6%. The number of people in this country who are not working is shameful. Ninety million Americans are no longer in the workforce. Ninety million. People not in the labor force grew by 663,000, and now 90 million. That´s the labor force participation rate. This is 1979 levels.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Clinton praised her own mother for helping empower her to success and marveled at the opportunities that her own daughter Chelsea has pursued. But Clinton warned that there is still so much to do to promote women´s rights in America. "As I look at all these young women that I am privileged to work with, or know through Chelsea, and its hard to imagine turning the clock on them," Clinton said.

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

SANFORD - Trayvon Martin´s parents have settled a wrongful death claim for an amount believed to be more than $1 million against the homeowners association of the Sanford subdivision where their teenage son was killed. Their attorney, Benjamin Crump, filed that paperwork at the Seminole County Courthouse, a portion of which was made public today. In the five pages of the settlement that were available for public review, the settlement amount had been marked out. Lower in the agreement, the parties specified that they would keep that amount confidential. When asked during an earlier interview whether the amount was
