Another Dangerous Ruling by an Activist Judge

Another Dangerous Ruling by an Activist Judge

Wednesday, November 10, 2004

By Bill O'Reilly

Shortly after the U.S. invaded Afghanistan three years ago, Salim Ahmed Hamdan was captured on the battlefield. Hamdan is a Yemeni and was a member of the terrorist group Islamic Jihad before Al Qaeda.

American officials charged Hamdan with a number of terrorist crimes and said he was bin Laden's driver. He was incarcerated at Guantanamo Bay, classified an enemy combatant to be tried in front of a military tribunal.

... U.S. District Court Judge James Robertson ruled the Bush administration had no right to declare the man an enemy combatant & said Hamdan should be classified a prisoner of war and given Geneva Convention protections... despite these facts: Hamdan was not fighting for any country, wore no uniform on the battlefield, was a member of at least one terrorist group, possibly two.

Robertson also ruled that Geneva Convention protections supersede any presidential order or designation by military tribunal.

Who is Judge James Robertson? Appointed by President Clinton, the judge is an activist, often working for progressive causes.

Last September, Robertson denied the Bush campaign's request to order the Federal Election Commission to move against moveon.org and other left- wing Web sites which abuse the spirit of campaign finance reform.

Judge Robertson also denied oil exploration in Utah, threw out Ken Starr's tax fraud indictment against Webster Hubble. Starr wanted that action to force Hubble to testify against the Clintons in Whitewater. Hubble did not testify, the Clintons were not prosecuted.

The news is that Bush's approval rating 91% among FISA Judges.

[Brad from Tennessee]

There is a rumor circulating--and so far it's just a rumor--that Judge Robertson has leaked classified material to the news media, that he was caught, and resigned ahead of this being made public. But, it's just a rumor.

Now THAT is funny... and I actually believe it.

I heard that as well - Robertson & Rockefeller are the names I've heard floated out for the Patriot Leak... I hope they investigate and prosecute to the fullest extent.

Nice work - I didn't know about the Hubble thing. I hope this judge is charged and convicted of leaking national security secrets.

[Congressman Billybob]

The press is making a big deal over the resignation of this hard-wired Democrat bigot of a judge from the FISA Court. At the same time, however, it is ignoring an OFFICIAL decision of the whole FISA Court which upheld the very powers that the Democrats (including this ONE judge) are decrying.

Another example of press bias perhaps? Who'd a thunk it?

Well it could be Robinson leaking the information.

The leaders of the Dimorat's party are low life politically correct muck diving scumbags so how else would you expect a loyal party member to act.

It's time to shut off the leaks.

Maybe the Democrats need a good plumber to fix the holes found in the Dimorat sewer pipes.

NEWS BREAK:

How any known human form of life, that loves America, family and traditions can be a Democrat is beyond me.

The word Democrat and Common Sense, DO NOT I repeat for the deaf, do not go together like a horse and carriage.

I understand, that a report is out saying a Democrat was found this year that actually had a modicum of common sense.

However, the Democrat, now identified as Rip Van Winkle had been asleep for the last 40 years.

After meeting with party leaders and traitors (HowWeird Deaniac, Nancy Popalosie, Murdering Teddy Kennedy,Little Dickie Turdbin, Babbling Babs Boxero,Lying Tommy Harkin, Jessie Jackass, Al Sharptongue, Hellary Klinton and the Internet inventor Alvin The Bore Gore)Ole Rip immediately re registered as a REPUBLICAN.
