What exactly is law? Is it words on paper? Is it the decision of a court? A spiritual interpretation held in the heart of the reader?
A practical interpretation is that law is whatever policies the state chooses to either enforce or not enforce through its monopoly of violence. In this interpretation then, state assassinations are perfectly legal, habeus corpus, due process, etc… are merely administrative considerations.
Is the answer also “yes” according to US law though? I doubt it, could be wrong though.
