"You know, I don't take it too seriously, Paul told Morgan after listening to him read Trump's insult. I've known President Trump for over a decade, I've played golf with him a couple dozen times. I actually enjoy his company and his personality most of the time, but it doesn't mean I'm going to be a rubber stamp or agree with everything."
"We don't blow up boats off Miami because 25% of the time suspicion is wrong. We shouldn't do it off Venezuela either. These are small outboards with no fentanyl and no path to Florida. We can't just kill indiscriminately because we are not at war. It's summary execution!"
"Everyone gets a trial because sometimes, the system gets it wrong. Even the worst of the worst in our country get due process. The bottom line is that execution without process is not justice, and blowing up foreign ships is a recipe for chaos."
The administration's strikes on alleged drug-smuggling boats in the Caribbean are characterized as lacking legal basis and amounting to summary executions without legal process. The cited concern notes that many intercepted vessels are small outboards with no fentanyl and no realistic path to the United States, making fatal strikes indiscriminate and unnecessary. Due process is emphasized as essential because the system can err, and execution without process is described as unjust and destabilizing. The criticism extends to broader objections to uncritical party alignment and to skepticism about strike legality and consequences.
