Longer. But here:

Some Congressional Republicans said something. I’m not aware of any official statement, party platform, or letter that officially advanced this notion. But substantiating the degree and effect of what “Congressional Republicans” said is never required; the statement passes unchallenged.

> [@Why aren't Progressives questioning the legality & morality of Obama's drone targeting policy?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-arent-progressives-questioning-the-legality-morality-of-obamas-drone-targeting-policy/652659/11):

It is? How? What are the cites? No one demands them; everyone accepts the statement.

The Republicans are all pandering assholes, bereft of sanity. CIte? None given; none asked for.

They are trying to pin it all on Obama and anyone close to him (David Petraeus, Hilary Clinton and now Rice… Who next, the White House janitor who has a cousin who once visited Benghazi?) rather than push for a simple investigation.

Which Republicans are letting Fox News lead them? How do you know? We don’t ask those kinds of questions; everyone knows it.

This post took perhaps ten minutes to put together. It was an utterly unnecessary ten minutes: you know, from daily reading of this site, how common such statements are.
