Actually a very important Fillibuster. We are living in an age where we are becoming a country of "men" rather than a country of laws. Ironic the President gets to decide which Citizen is murdered by drone strike without a trial as guarenteed by the Constitution while an enemy combatant who played a critical role in killing thousands of Americans gets a trial with the rights of a citizen in civilian court.

What happens when we get a President (or Governer or Police Chief)who you don't agree with and they get to choose who lives and dies, who gets spyed on and who doesn't.
