Here is video of Rudy Giuliani today talking to Neil Cavuto about movement toward holding the trial for 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Muhammed somewhere other than New York City. Giuliani said he predicted a month ago that Obama would have to relent on having the trial in New York and move it somewhere else. He said there is just not public support for having a trial in a civilian court that will become a total circus. Giuliani said "this makes no sense - it is totally unnecessary."
Cavuto also asked Giuliani about Obama's attack on the Supreme Court during his State of the Union Address. Giuliani said:
"I thought it was horrible . . . He makes this unprecedented partisan attack on the Supreme Court so his congressmaen and senators - not the Republicans - all get up and cheer, they're leaning over them and cheering. It was an absurd thing to do . . ."
Giuliani said beyond the lack of respect and decorum exhibited by Obama, he was "dead wrong." Giuliani read from the opinion by Justice Kennedy that explicitly states that their decision had nothing to do with allowing Foreign Companies to influence political campaigns.
Giuliani went on:
"I think it also creates more of the credibility gap this President has. He wasn't telling the truth. He wasn't accurately stating the opinion. . . . It's "Not True" Mr. President. You're wrong. Now apologize for it! . . . Almost lawyer to lawyer he ought to apologize. He misrepresented the opinion of the Supreme Court in an attempt to humiliate the court. My goodness - he has a responsibility as a lawyer to apologize to the Court and set the record straight."
It could not have been said better than Giuliani expressed it here. Obama was way out of bounds to do what he did. The mainstream media is ignoring the significance of this story and what it shows about the "thin-skinned" nature of our President. Anyone who dares to disagree with him or get in his way can look for a lecture from him, no matter how discourteous or ill-mannered it may be. . . . . (VIDEO)
The Messiah has spoken! He walks on water don’t ya know. President “O”
This administration has no class.
Good for Rudy!
The GOP on Hill only wishes it had your stones!
Finally someone has the guts to say it.
President Wrong on Citizens United Case [Bradley A. Smith]Tonight the president engaged in demogoguery of the worst kind, when he claimed that last week's Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. FEC, "open[ed] the floodgates for special interests — including foreign corporations — to spend without limit in our elections. Well I don't think American elections should be bankrolled by America's most powerful interests, or worse, by foreign entities."
The president's statement is false.
The Court held that 2 U.S.C. Section 441a, which prohibits all corporate political spending, is unconstitutional. Foreign nationals, specifically defined to include foreign corporations, are prohibiting from making "a contribution or donation of money or ather thing of value, or to make an express or implied promise to make a contribution or donation, in connection with a Federal, State or local election" under 2 U.S.C. Section 441e, which was not at issue in the case. Foreign corporations are also prohibited, under 2 U.S.C. 441e, from making any contribution or donation to any committee of any political party, and they prohibited from making any "expenditure, independent expenditure, or disbursement for an electioneering communication."
This is either blithering ignorance of the law or demagoguery of the worst kind.
