Perhaps a practice run for things to come?

Thanks for posting this. I can hardly wait to see how this will be spun.

"The Justice Department now concedes that it "fabricated a defense where none existed" in earlier opposing the Sanderses' civil action. It also concedes there is no defense for the 32 counts of federal lawlessness committed in pursuit of destroying a journalist and his wife." Gee, what a surprise that this occured under Bill Clinton and Janet Reno, but not to worry, the end did justify the means (the skunk was reelected).

This could be a good time to expose the Clinton cover up of terrorism. I just pray that it was not a cover up of a friendly fire incident.

My husband knew a woman on that flight. She was a neighbor that he grew up with.

What does this article mean?

Is W about to have the Gov admit that this was a bombing to destroy George S and Klinton?

Will this help focus on the war on terror?

The United States government has declined to respond to the Sanderses' summary judgment motion – "Rule 56.1 Statement." Incredibly, by so declining, U.S. Attorney Kevin Cleary has conceded that the Sanderses' 32 damning charges against his clients cannot be rebutted.

World Net Daily huh?

This is extremely hyperbolic. How about giving us some facts?

I don't know anything about this case, and after reading this I still don't. I do know that there are other reasons not to respond to a motion.

Perhaps it wasn't worth doing because the motion was a minor point in a suit is that is certain to be rejected, just for one alternative explanation.

Are you foolish enough to believe that the President has any influence on how the federal government is run?. Cmon now.

[thinktwice]

I suspect that the current President of the United States seeks truth.

If so, our nation cannot be in better hands.

[habaes corpussel]

When did DOJ concede they fabricated anything?

BTTT

You have to wonder how much of this alleged coverup was designed to shield Al Gore, head of the Gore commission on airport/airline security. Would W keep the lid on it because of that or the debilitating effect it would have on the FBI?

You must be kidding. It won't even be reported. What started as a Clinton coverup continues as a Bush coverup.

What does this article mean?

I'm about 99.99999999999999999999999999% sure it doesn't mean what the author wants you to think it means. Needs to be read carefully and with a critical eye.

I'm not a lawyer, but I suspect that the "Summary Judgement Motion" not being responded to by the Government lawyer does NOT mean that the US Government accepts all the assorted foil-hat claims in it.

The author is simply listing all the claims in the motion and making it look like the Government is agreeing to all of them, and to the really-not-bright, making it look like the GOVERNMENT is saying the various things in the motion.

What it probably REALLY means; this "Summary Judgement Motion" is going to be laughed out of court by the judge in the case, and the government lawyer didn't specifically respond to the dog's breakfast of assorted accusations because he didn't need to and knows the case will be thrown out eventually.

Let me give an example of what would be similar; let's say there's a case like those kookjobs suing Bush for going to war against Iraq. A few days before the case is thrown out, the kookjobs submit a "Summary Judgement Motion" listing assorted things, including that GWB enjoys strangling kittens for fun, that Dick Cheney is a Nazi, that the government was behind 9/11, etc. When the government lawyer doesn't bother doing a point-by-point rebuttal, then the leftist kookjobs write a breathless article for whatever the Commie equivalent of World Crap Daily saying that since the government didn't respond to any of their claims specifically, they concede they're all true.

Mark my words, you're being bamboozled by WND and this author regarding the legal implications they're claiming.

I was referring to our own resident spinmaesters. I've lost track of their names, but they seem to show up on these threads and give undying support for whatever the government position is.

[savedbygrace]

This was a Motion for Summary Judgement. Is that a minor motion?

[John H K]

I do know that there are other reasons not to respond to a motion.
Perhaps it wasn't worth doing because the motion was a minor point in a suit is that is certain to be rejected, just for one alternative explanation.

Precisely. Glad to see someone else thinking.

People have really got to start reading things with a critical eye, even stuff from CONSERVATIVE sources, and even things they WANT to believe.

[The Lake City Gar]

Just another reason to dismiss WorldNetDaily as the information site for the lunatic fringe.

God, I wish they were liberal, it would make it a LOT easier to bash them.
