Move them to the judge's house...or better yet, move the judge to Club Gitmo. Traitor.

U.S. District Judge Jed S. Rakoff told the government to provide the information in the form of unredacted copies of transcripts and documents related to 558 military hearings in which detainees were permitted to challenge their incarcerations. unredacted copies???
Ummmm ... can we get the same for the Barrett Report too???

The ruling by Judge Jed S. Rakoff is the first to declare the current federal death penalty unconstitutional.
Conflict of Interest
In September of last year, Judge Rakoff became embroiled in an ethics debate, when he refused to recuse himself from a lawsuit against Texaco Inc. brought by a group of Ecuadorean Indians who accused the oil company of polluting their land in the Amazon rain forest. Lawyers for the Indians said Judge Rakoff had attended an expenses-paid seminar in 1998 in Montana at which a former chairman of Texaco spoke.
Other
He also co-wrote the Corporate Sentencing Guidelines that let Enron and such get off so easy.

This judge needs to be impeached, tried and convicted of treason, and executed.
The Judicial Branch has no authority in this matter. All jurists know this. Any activity to the contrary by a judge is classic treason.

Since this guy is not wearing a uniform with rank on the shoulders, I don't think his opinion is squat. This is a military issue, not one involving law enforcement.
He has no business being involved in this at all - he needs to get back to traffic court.

Most of the hundreds of prisoners at the U.S. prison in Cuba have been held since the Sept. 11, 2001 Is the AP saying that on Sept 12, 2001 over half the people captured were already at Guantanamo?

The federal judiciary will keep on pushing and pushing into the Executive branch's core powers until we have a President who tells them where to go. This is a separation of powers issue.
Dog Gone, you may recall that I, as a supporter of legalized abortion, finally came around to opposing Roe v. Wade after I decided that it was where the federal judiciary went off the rails. We are now paying the price for the imperial judiciary, and it started with Roe v. Wade. I've concluded that abortion should be decided by the states, save in instances of rape, incest and the health of the mother.
Because letting it stand invites judicial over-reaching like this legal atrocity here.

The judge has rejected the Defense Department's effort to use the privacy interests of detainees to prevent the public from learning information about the actions taken at Guantanamo Bay,IF that's what the attorney for the United States argued, he or she should be given a pink slip, tomorrow, if not sooner. The real argument would be on lack of jurisdiction, lack of applicable law, and the inherent powers of the commander in chief. The only exception might be in regard to US Citizens captured overseas, but even that is far from clear in cases such as this.

In response, the government argued that releasing the identities could subject the families, friends and associates of the detainees to embarrassment and retaliation. In a written ruling Monday, the judge said he found that argument unconvincing. He said family members and the others "never had any reasonable expectation" of anonymity.
This argument seemed to work with the Vince Foster photos. Release the photos!
