“The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states that no person shall be deprived of life without due process of law. Like all the other amendments to the Constitution, the Fifth Amendment operates as an express higher-law restriction that the people of the United States have placed on federal officials. The idea is that federal officials are expected to obey our higher law just as they expect us to obey their lower laws. … No more. Today, it is undisputed that the president, the military, and the CIA wield the omnipotent power to deprive people of life (i.e., kill them), without due process of law. In other words, federal officials are no longer complying with the Fifth Amendment restriction on their power.” (05/22/26)
