Obama impeachment a possibility, says Ron Paul

(any "patriot" should think long and hard before concluding that they are glad that they supposedly killed Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born US citizen, without a trial . . . this is a test - are you for the constitution and Bill of Rights, or are you so scared of the boogey men (and women) that they scare-monger the public with that you agree that this was the right thing to supposedly do? . . . remember the MIAC Report, and many other reports, that lets us know who "they" think the "real" threats are, and see if you might fit the profile . . . then decide whether the POTUS should have the authority to bypass the Constitution . . . oh yeah, Ron Paul supporters are on the list, btw . . .)

Ron Paul said Monday that President Barack Obama’s targeted killing of Anwar al-Awlaki might be an impeachable offense.

Asked at a Manchester, N.H. town hall meeting about last week’s killing of the American-born Al Qaeda leader, the Texas congressman said impeachment would be “possible,” but that he wants to know more about how the administration “flouted the law.”

Paul called the killing a movement toward “tyranny.”

“I put responsibility on the president because this is obviously a step in the wrong direction,” Paul said. “We have just totally disrespected the Constitution.”

The comments once again put Paul at odds with his Republican rivals over foreign policy and the war on terror in the latest indication of how his foreign policy views stray far from Republican orthodoxy even in a GOP that’s taken on an increasingly isolationist bent. Candidates like Michele Bachmann and Mitt Romney — who included the president in a list of people he commended in a statement released Friday — have generally been supportive of the killing. No one else in the field has spoken out against it.

But Paul’s stuck with the civil libertarians who’ve criticized the targeted killing of an American citizen without public due process.
