without due process.

He has greatly expanded the ~~assassination~~ 'targeted killing' program initiated by Bush.

He authorized "signature strikes" and "double taps" with drones.

He waged aggressive elective warfare against Libya and justified it with misinformation.

He aggressively targeted journalists and whistle blowers for prosecution under the Espionage Act, using that archaic and oppressive law more times than any other President.

To pretend that Obama has not done some heinous shit is ridiculous.
