Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

May 1, 2012

Barack Obama, who claims the authority to order the execution or indefinite military detention of any U.S. citizen he considers a terrorist, has issued a ?Law Day USA 2012? proclamation piously professing his undying devotion to due process.

According to Mr. Obama, this year?s Law Day theme is ?No Courts, No Justice, No Freedom,? which underscores ?the historic role our courts have played in protecting the fundamental rights and liberties of all Americans. Our courts are the guarantors of civil justice, social order, and public safety, and we must do everything we can to enable their critical work.?

Read with a perceptive eye, that decree is a potent indictment of the Obama administration.

The same president who affixed his signature to those words has murdered at least two U.S. citizens ? one of them a 16-year-old boy ? without due process of any kind.

Not only does the Obama administration consider courts unnecessary in dealing with presidentially designated ?terrorists,? it finds them similarly useless in addressing crimes committed by high-ranking government officials ? such as the overtly criminal torture program now openly boasted about by those who carried it out.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
