Thank God – for now, anyway: A group of Chinese Muslims set to be freed into the U.S. this week from Guantanamo Bay found their freedom stymied yet again after a simple government plea: What’s a couple more weeks or……

This week a Federal Judge demanded that the Bush administration release Uighur terrorists from Guantanamo to the Washington DC area. This decision is a natural outgrowth of the sustained attack against the legitimacy of Guantanamo that has taken place …

Send them back to the Chinese. They want these detainees returned to them. Sign a compact that promises no torture, declare it sufficient, and put them on a plane to Beijing. Problem solved.

Now thats wisdom if I’ve ever seen it. They’re terrorists!!! Who cares what fate they have in store. Just pass the buck and chalk up under the liberals cultural relativism

Shocker. Not.

4th Circuit stops Uighers from entering US

Two days ago,
Judge Ricardo Urbina demanded that the Bush administration produce
seventeen Chinese Uighers captured in terrorist training camps seven
years in his courtroom on Friday, announcing his……

Thus wrote the brilliant Justice Antonin Scalia in his dissent to the Boumediene decision of the Supreme Court.

In case you have not been following the bouncing ball, the looselugnut libs of the Court concluded for the very first time in American history, that unlawful alien combatants captured on the battlefield by US troops and held by the military as prisoners outside the US are entitled to petition domestic federal courts in the US for relief using our habeas rights as US citizens.

Honestly, rather than make captures on the battlefield, the troops might well very reasonably decide that the better practice is to just shoot them all dead if they are just going to be released free into the US.

Fortunately, the DC Court of Appeals has stayed the order. But it’s only a matter of time before the libruls are going to make damn certain that Scalia was right.

Send them back to the Chinese. They want these detainees returned to them. Sign a compact that promises no torture, declare it sufficient, and put them on a plane to Beijing. Problem solved.

Done.

Send them back to the Chinese. They want these detainees returned to them. Sign a compact that promises no torture, declare it sufficient, and put them on a plane to Beijing. Problem solved.

past copies of that compact to their the detainees chest as they are being lined up to be shot by a firing squad..

That will keep them safe in China.

The Chinese want them, but we’re afraid the terrorists will be mistreated by Beijing, which is suppressing a Uigher insurgency at the moment.

Hell, that sounds like a solution, not a problem..

And where the hell do you get the idea that this is en banc?

That’s an excellent question, because three-judge panels can’t grant en banc hearings, and of course the panel’s order makes no mention of an en banc hearing.

Meanwhile, here’s some interesting background from SCOTUSBlog: Lawyers for the detainees had sought to pick the three judges who would hear their case, namely judges who have “already shown skepticism toward the government’s handling of Chinese Muslim detainees at Guantanamo Bay.” The court of appeals denied that request.

This isn’t China.

Tarring and feathering is a proud American tradition for dealing with idiot traitors like Urbina.

It’s not practiced in China as far as I know. But it would be amusing to see him tarred, feathered and pushed off the tallest building in China together with the terrorists. I promise to upload the video!

Maybe we could buy it at a good discount

You gan buy GM today for what it was worth in 1929!!!!! The market cap in 1929 was about $4B it’s now below that…. holy snitzack!

Thanks to the American judiciary, terrorist are being given their ‘right’ to continue murdering Americans while the Americans are given the ‘right’ to die at their hands.

With little concern about what the terrorist could do if the courts set them free on America’s streets, the courts convoluted way of thinking believe that justice has been served because the United States has no right to incarcerate terrorist murderers.

Now, the court can pat themselves on the back for a job well done, and tell the American people “your safety is of no concern to us, and your on your own!”

This is probably a sign that he should be given a job in mainstream media.
