Legality and Constitutionality of Boat Strikes - Senator Schiff believes the boat strikes are unlawful and unconstitutional, considering the killing of shipwrecked individuals morally repugnant [2] - The strikes are viewed as a form of extrajudicial killing, as the boats are not invading the United States in an armed assault and are thousands of miles away [5] - The administration's designation of groups as terrorist organizations does not grant the legal authority to kill them at sea [6] - Concerns exist regarding the legal justification for the strikes, with arguments potentially built on strained legal interpretations [10][11][12] Potential Legal and Ethical Repercussions - Individuals in the chain of command who carried out the strike on shipwrecked people may face legal liability [19] - The Senator suggests that public release of the video of the strikes would likely generate clamor and force colleagues to support an end to these strikes [20] Actions and Accountability of Officials - The admiral in charge of Southern Command may have left due to concerns about these strikes, and the top lawyer in that command may have been fired or forced to resign [8][9] - Secretary Hegseth should be fired for endangering pilots by using a commercial app to signal military strike plans ahead of those strikes [22][23]
