As usual, Hayes gets pretty close to what it's about.
The main thing to remember is that process counts. The US was set up to put Process in front of outcome. If we take care in how we get to the conclusion, we stand a much better chance of getting to the right conclusion. That seems pretty important when we're trying to figure out who's next in line for a Hellfire Anal Probe.
We gotta get this one right, and I'm not convinced Obama's gonna get there for us. Seems like he's willing to do some good Democrat things (equal rights, gun regulations, etc) but just as you start to think he's really pulling in the right direction, he cuts back and does something like this extra-legal assassination-by-drone shit.
I guess I'm just really hoping he's trying to rearrange the legalities - not to make it easier to blast somebody we don't like - but to be a little more sure that we blast the right guy(?), and to be a little surer about knowing who pulled the trigger and why they targeted any given dude.
Also hoping this isn't just another cynical move to defang the usual Repub attacks on Dems as being insufficiently BadAss.
