Fools of the Week: Those on the extreme left who view the ruling of the Supreme Court yesterday on the Hamdan case as a slap to the President and his administration.
Yesterday, in a many paged ruling, the Supreme Court ruled the military commission set up by the Pentagon to try Hamdan wa not authorized by the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So now the members of Congress will craft legislation granting the "Executive Branch the authority to ensure that terriorists can be tried by competent military commissions. Working together, Congress and the administration can draft a fair, suitable, and constitutionally permissable tribunal statute." So said Senator Lindsay Graham and Jon Kyl after the opinion was made public.
The moonbats rushing to the microphones to claim this is some big slap in the face to the administration, the usual suspects, are embarrassingly wrong. Senator Teddy (murderer of aides) and House Minority Leader Nancy (San Fran Nan) Pelosi were both guilty of this. For whom are they rooting? The terrorists who certainly don't give any legal means to the men and women they capture on the battlefield? An example that pops into my mind is Daniel Pearl. What kind of protections were granted to him before he was beheaded? And filmed while he was beheaded?
The Supreme Court did not say Gitmo must be closed. It did not say the military commissions can not be continued. It did not say the prisoners must be released. It simply said that the Executive Branch must have the legislation from congress to proceed. What's the big score for the defeatist left? Even Hamdan's own attorney, Neal Katyal, said he did not view the ruling as a "rebuke" to the administration. He said it speaks to the superiority of our justice system. I agree with him. Now when these animals are tried and justice is served, the countries claiming pity for the poor things will not have anything to whine about.
The interesting thing is that now the moonbats must either vote in favor of the upcoming legislation or cast a vote seen as favoring the Islamo-Facists over their own country. Surely they want to be seen as taking seriously the obligation to keep Americans safe in this country, including their own families and themselves. Again, they will be shown for the silly, unserious people they are, still unworthy of the votes of the American public to regain the majority on capitol hill.
Works for me.

Do you think they ever get tired of making fools of themselves?
Then the judge threw out the confession of Jessica Lunsford's killer because he asked for a lawyer several times and the police didn't get him one. It LEGALLY had to be done and they have enough to convict him anyway. But you would think the press would at least see their side of it. At the time they got the confession, they were still working on the premise that she was still alive. They knew they were up against a time limit.... the longer it took to find her the less likely she would be alive.... and he had buried her alive. Their first priority was trying to save the life of a little girl, not to make sure a pedophile had access to all his "rights". As far as I'm concerned they should string him up, cut his privates off and then shoot him. It is better than what he did to Jessica. This person should have NO Rights at all.
I'm sure if they had already recovered her body and already knew she was dead, they would have gone entirely by the book.
As evidenced by your paragraph 4: Never try to confuse an issue with facts. That should be the moonbat party motto. They are preying on and praying for the *misundereducation* of the populace. How do they stand themselves?
