Obama delays Cole trials

[Cerise]

He'd be a great guy to have at parties though.

Since they are not US citizens (Padilla was an exception) and were not caught by civilian authority (police) on US soil, they are not protected by the US Constitution nor by habeas corpus.

Gonz, why do you keep ignoring the facts and instead stating your own incorrect opinions?

The Supreme Court has staed that you are wrong. Get it through your head already.

You are wrong.

The court has also ruked that they are covered by the GC.

Again you are wrong.

President Obama said to stop the trials.

The trial are delayed for review. Why are you intentionally getting this wrong?

It's already been covered.

President Obama is, simply, in over his head & out of his league regarding non-POWs in a wartime setting. He'd be a great guy to have at parties though.

Bush was in over his head and out of his league. He created this enormous clusterfuck and now Obama is handling it well and cleaning uo Bush's giant mess.

The SCotUS has overruled itself more than once. This ruling was based on political motives more than legal.

Chief Justice John Roberts also vehemently disagreed with the majority opinion. "So who has won?" he wrote. "Not the detainees. The court's analysis leaves them with only the prospect of further litigation." Roberts went on to write, "and certainly not the American people, who today lose a bit more control over the conduct of this nation's foreign policy to unelected, politically unaccountable judges."

It's not over & if you're willing to turn over the rights of American citizens too those who are ready, willing & able to kill you, then it's too late for you anyway.

Nope, just legal ones.

They're not turning over my rights to anyone.

You were gladly and joyously giving up our rights under the last administration though. I know it's too late for you.

So Gonz, your premise is the U.S. Supreme Court "might" overturn the decision? And the decision was political? So, does this mean you recall who appointed Justice Roberts?
And do you know why a legal opinion was sought in the first place?
Political? As Sarah Palin would say, "you betcha." But political for whom?
Nah! Couldn't be Bush. He's to, to, political?

BUT, in a humorous vein: after reading the response by Gonz, I can't help but think of the farmer who backed his manure spreader up to a wall and put it in high gear, slinging the contents against the wall. When the spreader ran out of manure, the farmer stood back and waited to see how much crap stuck to the wall.

The American Civil Liberties Unions brought the case trying to give non-Americans, captured in a foreign war zone, Constitutional rights. Looks like they succeeded. What would we have tried saddam for, had he lived....3rd degree burglary?
