It Is Possible, I Supposed, 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.

It's Time To Question Laws That Senselessly Expand The Concept Of Self-defense And Sow Dangerous Conflict In Our Neighborhoods. These Laws Try To Fix Something That Was Never Broken. There Has Always Been A Legal Defense For Using Deadly Force If - And The 'if' Is Important - If No Safe Retreat Is Available. But We Must Examine Laws That Take This Further By Eliminating The Common Sense And Age-old Requirement That People Who Feel Threatened Have A Duty To Retreat, Outside Their Home, If They Can Do So Safely.

Due Process And Judicial Process Are Not One And The Same, Particularly When It Comes To National Security.

Whether It Is An Attempt To Bomb The New York City Subway System, An Attempt To Bring Down An Airplane Over Detroit, An Attempt To Set Off A Bomb In Times Square ... I Think That Gives Us A Sense Of The Breadth Of The Challenges That We Face, And The Kinds Of Things That Our Enemy Is Trying To Do.
