For the record

Roll Call: Who Voted To Confirm Drone Executioner David Barron To Appeals Court Post? « Irregular Times

"The most troubling issue in David Barron’s record is his role as the author of the legal opinion that justified what is rather coldly referred to as ‘extrajudicial killing’ by the United States federal government. Put more plainly, David Barron concocted a legal justification for President Barack Obama, so that the President could order the U.S. military to execute American citizens, because of suspicion of criminal behavior, without any trial or due process."
