Yes, as Rachel Maddow pointed out, there’s nothing different about using drones than using manned aircraft, it’s the same Hellfire missiles. What makes it potentially unconstitutional is the fact that we’re killing people, outside of a declared war zone, without trial. So this cartoonist missed the point, although there is a point to be made.
Oh, silly Tigger! Obama won’t shut it off. He’ll just monitor it for threats. You’re probably ok, but Howgee & ConserveGov are off to Gitmo.Of course, once a Republican gets back in the White House, we’re both off to Gitmo, too.

Given the number of “terrorists” coming from around the world, will SEALs now have to ask for passports to avoid shooting “Americans” in the field?
As to domestic use of drones, it’s primarily been the “conservatives”, like along the borders, calling for increased use of drones.
