Drone strikes ok on citizens if they are bad guys

I'm so proud of Rand Paul for filibustering the deal.
And a lot of other senators were too if you watch the last couple minutes of his 12 + hour speech, got applause from both sides of the aisle.
Even with strict objections LOL

Go Rand Paul! He is giving them hell this week. McCain and Graham scolded Paul for the filibuster and he shot right back at them. For the record McCain, Graham and delegation of Republicans were dining with Obama while Paul was working for the public.
By Rand Paul,
If I had planned to speak for 13 hours when I took the Senate floor Wednesday, I would’ve worn more comfortable shoes. I started my filibuster with the words, “I rise today to begin to filibuster John Brennan’s nomination for the CIA. I will speak until I can no longer speak” — and I meant it.
I wanted to sound an alarm bell from coast to coast. I wanted everybody to know that our Constitution is precious and that no American should be killed by a drone without first being charged with a crime. As Americans, we have fought long and hard for the Bill of Rights. The idea that no person shall be held without due process, and that no person shall be held for a capital offense without being indicted, is a founding American principle and a basic right.
