Lawyer Full Employment Act?
Oh, nonsense. These are show trials. Who needs silly things like evidence and due process when the verdicts have already been decided?
'Headline-of-the-day' ...
We still miss you BHO.
Folks on this forum have seen me rail on illegal immigration for a long time. Most of my emphasis has been the biggest problem we have, the Mexican populous flooding into the U.S. without going through due process.
Another problem is the VISA overstay. Barbara Olson was a very bright woman. She was a model Conservative and defended it as well as anyone I have ever seen. She did so on the talking head shows. She handed the leftists their lunch all the time. I was very proud of her. Her loss touched me personally. I think back on her abilities often, and miss her.
A portion of the 09/11 perps were inside our nation, after their VISAs had expired. They were student VISA.
My thought was that we should trim those student VISAs considerably, and get things under control. Well, right now we have over 30,000 students here on VISA from Saudi Arabia. If only 1% of those VISAs result in those people staying beyond the time they should, 300 people will be roaming our nation at any given time. My guess is there are far more than that doing so.
Nineteen people attacked our nation on 09/11, and caused massive loss of life and damage.
Did we lean nothing?
I am off topic here. Ted Olson and his comments regarding torture investigations is an important topic, and I believe him to be right on target here.
I cannot pass a mention of Barbara without lamenting her loss, what contributed to it, and the people who facilitated it with their inattention to the control of our borders.
There is blood on the hands of our leaders. There will be a lot more, if we don’t make them get our borders under control.
More people are dying every day. More women are being raped very day. More children are being sexually abused and snuffed every day.
Political leaders, we are watching.
Obama appears to be a master of intimidation. And an enemy from within who strikes fear into the very heart of our judicial system. I don’t think this was really ever about prosecuting those involved with techniques used in the latest Afghani/Iraqi War, although it throws a bone to his leftist supporters who want it desperately. It’s about intimating our good lawyers. Conservative lawyers have been successful in training young lawyers how to think and govern according to conservative, small-government principles. The Federalist Society comes to mind, but there are think tanks as well who nourish these conservators of our founding principles. Obama wants them too afraid to continue giving their opinions... He is such a dangerous man.
Well, keeping it on the back burner until, say, October, 2012 comes to mind.
Lets face it. The last such commission, which investigated possible failures to investigate 9/11, was stacked full of left-wing stooges, even though President Bush was nominally in charge. It even included Jamie Gorelik, who may have been as guilty as anyone for what went wrong.
As a result, the report was essentially worthless—a lying coverup throwing blame in the wrong directions.
If it happens again, Obama will not be so kind. It really will be a Stalinist show trial.
God Bless you B. Olson. RIP
