Unproved accusations have no legal validity. A serial aggressor, America never acts in self-defense. Moreover, individuals or groups defending themselves against US attacks are called "terrorists," including by major media op-ed and editorial writers, lying to support wealth and power.

"If the Constitution means anything, it surely means that the President does not have unreviewable authority to summarily execute any American (or anyone else) whom he concludes is an enemy of the state."
Doing so makes him a war criminal - an enemy of rule of law justice.
