Sympathy for the Devil: S. Ct. Hearts Terrorists; A Judge Ito/O.J. Jury in Every Terrorist Pot
By Debbie Schlussel
At least five of the U.S. Supreme Court Justices announced to the global Islamic terrorist community that open season on America has officially begun.
It unofficially began a few decades ago, when our planes were hijacked by the PFLP and in later attacks by Hezbollah and Al-Qaeda.
But now, the Supreme Court has announced to world that every terrorist, no matter how bent on destroying America–and regardless of whether or not the terrorist had any contact with American soil–now has a right to their own three ring court circus, MC’d by some ringmaster clone of Judge Ito and attended by his/her posse of O.J. jury replications.
They . . .
HEART Them . . .
In a five-to-four decision, Justices Anthony Kennedy, Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, David Souter, and John Paul Stevens, gave all Guantanamo detainees–hardened Islamic terrorists all–access to U.S. courts. They were given the right to file habeas corpus petitions challenging their detentions in America’s federal court system.
They essentially said to our enemies:
“Come on Down. You’re the next contestant on the Price is Lite.” Yup, the price for committing terrorism against Americans overseas is very lite. A free trip to America, getting to stay on our soil, and maybe even filing a petition for asylum and citizenship.
All of that can and will happen with this absurd decision.
Kudos for the smart, but minority, position on the court–the dissent of Chief Justice John Roberts, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito:
In dissent, Chief Justice John Roberts criticized his colleagues for striking down what he called “the most generous set of procedural protections ever afforded aliens detained by this country as enemy combatants.” . . .
Scalia said the nation is “at war with radical Islamists” and that the court’s decision “will make the war harder on us. It will almost certainly cause more Americans to be killed.”
Yes, it will. But, hey, what’s a little more spilt American blood, when we can show how much more we’re willing to bend over–backward and forward–to appease those who’d destroy us.
Oh, and by the way, the Kennedy decision was 70 pages. If you have to write seventy pages to justify a simple, absurd decision, you know you’re wrong. You’re just fertilizing.
Sadly, the only thing that grows there is America’s quicker demise. We’re going to be hearing a lot of, “If [The Glove] Does Not Fit, You Must Acquit,” in our future.
Muslims Thank America’s Supreme Court . . .
For Their Promising Future . . .
Not really surprising, unfortunately. For the most part, Supreme Court has been a joke in the years following ALA Schechter v US (1935).
Many awful decisions, including…
Murray v. Curlett
Roe v Wade
Miranda v Arizona
Kelo v City of New London
Even though Brown v Board had the positive effect of de-segregating schools, there was no legal theory involved, and sad to say, so many schools have gone back to being segregated, anyway.
Don’t even get me started on how pathetic the State supreme courts are.
