Let’s start calling him Sheik or something. I mean if we are going really going to PANDER to murders.

It’s a Federal courthouse, no camera’s no microphones.

I can’t believe you all fear the words of low life terrorist so much, especially non-televised words.

As I recall, the Nazi saboteurs landed by Uboat were all given the electric chair, and the Supreme Court upheld it. And they didn’t actually kill anybody.

From wiki

All eight defendants were found guilty and sentenced to death. Roosevelt commuted Burger’s sentence to life and Dasch’s to 30 years, because they had turned themselves in and provided information about the others. The others were executed on August 8, in the electric chair on the third floor of the District of Columbia jail and buried in a potter’s field called Blue Plains in the Anacostia area of Washington. In 1948, President Harry S. Truman granted executive clemency to Dasch and Burger on the condition that they be deported to the American Zone of occupied Germany.

Want more?

Lawyers for the accused, who included Lauson Stone and Kenneth Royall, attempted to have the case tried in a civilian court, but were rebuffed by the Supreme Court in Ex parte Quirin.

Didn’t answer a single question, not even when Bill asked him 3 times whether or not those folks who died in NYC on 9/11 were murdered.

Un-fricking-believable.

What’s the fascination with numbers? If a hostile entity infiltrates America and murders one person, how is a military tribunal NOT the most effective way to handle it?

How about 5?

Bozo and Holder are using this for purely political purposes and everyone knows it.

Worse, the people of NYC now have targets on their backs. Avoid the malls, subways and restaurants.

ATTENTION EVERYONE:
The renowned legal scholar ameripundit has announced a brand new legal principle that he invented himself. From now on, if the defendant has killed too many people, he can’t have a jury trial because the voir dire process would be “too risky”. The precise number that must be killed in order for the process to be “too risky” will be announced shortly, I’m sure.

What’s the fascination with numbers? If a hostile entity infiltrates America and murders one person, how is a military tribunal NOT the most effective way to handle it? It’s certainly Constitutional. It’s certainly cost effective. And it certainly protects the prerogatives of the US. The number of people killed have nothing to do with it. Neither does the amount of property damage. The intent and motivation, however, do. Our enemies (they’re still enemies, right?) need to understand that conspiring against the US doesn’t buy you a legal defense team and a trial by peers. There are no peers. There is no access to the American legal system. You plot, you lose.

This is going to be some trial…they aren’t the only ones on trial, Obama made a serious mistake, he is on trial also.

Should be interesting to see how they blame Bush for 9/11, seeing as the attacks were supposed to happen on Clinton’s watch.

In addition, bin Laden said that one of the main reasons for the attack wasn’t just American foreign policy at the time, but also Bill Clinton’s adultery. Will they also go after his fooling around?

Had a tough time in reading comprehension in school did you?

And best of all, Wolfie took a powder to stuff a turkey, and Cajun hottie Suzanne is running the asylum today. Geaux Saints!

“Their assessment is negative,” he said.

You are telling me that these men who killed 3,000 Americans, who pleaded guilty, actually don’t like America?

“F”

On its merits, it sucks. In fact the German government has already said it will not cooperate with the civil court if the state intends to pursue the death penalty. And since Obama has decided to take the idiot step of pursuing this in a civil court, instead of the military tribunal that evidence is needed to secure a conviction.

But then again, I don’t suppose you even know about the Hamburg cell that the Germans shut down or the evidence they got in the process.

In the military tribunal, these terrorists were going to plead guilty and happily die for the cause…now they want to grandstand, hence the German decision is a blow to the government’s case.

Idiots. That is what the Obama administration are, a bunch of incompetent idiots.

OK, class, notice how crr6 totally ignores ameripundit’s claim that a majority of Americans don’t want this trial held in a civil court, a claim which ameripundit backs up by citing a new CNN poll. Notice also how crr6 totally ignores the subesquent post I made citing the exact CNN poll numbers along with another poll that says the same thing. Leftist Selective Amnesia at its finest.

We weren’t talking about whether the holding the trial in NYC is popular or not, we were arguing it on its merits. Ameripundit got desperate and started throwing out random poll numbers. Why would I respond to that? It has nothing to do with what we were arguing about.

I’m sure that he appreciates that you mercifully stepped in and tried to help him though. He certainly could use it.

What exactly is your point here? We deem the voir dire process too risky if a certain number of people were killed? If so, what’s the number of deaths necessary to deem the process “too risky”? 100? 1,000?

I’m really getting embarrassed for you now. I mean really, just stop.

This is such crap. The links people like you go to kiss Obama’s behind never cease to amaze me.

The truth is that the US Congress, and that includes his royal majesty Barack Hussein Obama, passed the Military Commissions Act for the purpose of trying people like these murderers. Two seperate decisions from the United States Supreme Court were taken into consideration when the bi-partisan act was passed, just to make sure the process would be legal.

But Obama and his ilk decide that they can have more fun putting Bush on trial, so the circus begins.

Never mind the fact that the judge and jurors might need police protection for years. Never mind the fact that a legal precedent is being set here that has dire national security consequences.

No, the America haters see an opportunity to drag the Bushies through the mud, so the hell with everything and everyone else.

Disgusting.
