FP quotes part of his famous filibuster:
I will speak as long as it takes, until the alarm is sounded from coast to coast that our Constitution is important, that your rights to trial by jury are precious, that no American should be killed by a drone on American soil without first being charged with a crime, without first being found to be guilty by a court.and then quotes a more recent statement he made to FOX Business Network:
"I've never argued against any technology being used when you have an imminent threat, an active crime going on," Paul said. "If someone comes out of a liquor store with a weapon and fifty dollars in cash. I don't care if a drone kills him or a policeman kills him."Paul tried to get out of this contradiction by using the "imminent threat" escape hatch but robbing a liquor store doesn't strike me as such a threat.
