You can use ad hominem attacks all you like...dress it up however you like.

I can't help it if you don't understand the nomenclature.

My conservative leanings are documented on this board

Leanings. LOL.

defending Al Qaeda Terrorist who happen to live in Chicago. You can pick whatever side you want, thought it appears you already have.

Which side do you think that is? And why?

The Constitution refers to the pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, doesn't it?

Yes. Which has nothing to do with this case.

Your desire to die on a hill for Padilla would result in fewer Americans having that right--because they'd be busy dying from the Radiation Bombs Padilla and his ilk set off.

Nonsense. If any citizen does these things thay should be prosecuted, under the law. Not because of hysterical ravings.

Heh. Whatever. Look, the fact of the matter is, despite your contentions of malfeasance upon the current administration and the law, the WoT is going on successfully. This is a temporary setback that will not stop Law Enforcement. How sad you're experiencing an apparent priapism because two jackass judges in New York have ruled against the Department of Defense.

I'll be happy to settle with whatever the administration decides to do in this case, because I trust their judgement over yours in this War On Terror.

Tell you what, though: since you're as unbending in your opinion as I am, I'm going to cut off discussion with you on this thread. But since you seem to have a penchant for retort, I'll let you salve your desire to look like a big-shot "thinker". Go ahead and flame me back, and I promise I won't respond. Then you can sit back satisfactorily and pretend like you won the argument. You seem to need that in your life.

G'nite.
