The constitutional lawyer strikes again

Anwar al-Awlaki dead: what it means for US, Yemen - CSMonitor.com

Awlaki would appear to be the first US citizen to fall at the hands of a targeted killing from the government since what the "global war on terror" started 10 years ago.

U. S. Constitution, Amendment 5

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime,
unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising
in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time
of War or public danger...nor be deprived of life,
liberty, or property, without due process of law...
