I think this is just the first of many more challenges to come.
The actions of the Dems and their acolytes in the media are going to cause many of these situations, leading to terrorists being set free...but don't you dare question their patriotism!
The get some popcorn and watch the Lefts heads explode.
He should be given two options: 1) Be tried using this evidence against him and ignoring the legality of the wiretapping, or 2) Be shot immediately as an enemy saboteur!
The defendant can call Schumer, Biden, Kerry, Kennedy, or any of the other left-wingers as witnesses. Any of them would be happy to sing his own version of "I Love Faris."
Whine, the Government found out I was going to blow up a bridge and arrested me, so I will sue them for stopping me.
How dare the Government stop me from doing what I wanted to do.
So, this proves that the spying actually IS WORKING!!! Somehow, I don't see the media giving this case much coverage...
He looks just like Freddie Fender - always wondered what happened to him !!!!!
I have great sympathy for these terrorists..I mean..spying on possible terrorists..is this the country they have come to terrorize??
Let me get this straight...They are permitted to question the war (freedom of speech) but I am not permitted to question their patriotism?
If a criminal is guilty of a crime, the process of gathering evidence does not change the guilt or innocence. If the evidence was illegally obtained, then the person who obtained it should be prosecuted for his/her crime. It should have absolutely no bearing on the guilt of the criminal. This is one of the major faults of our current legal system.
We are WAY too concerned about protecting the "rights" of the guilty and not concerned enough about protecting the rights of the victims. In this case that includes the law-abiding citizens of the USA whose civil rights are infringed every day when they are forced to modify their behavior to accomodate criminals. That includes airline checks, fear of walking alone at night or in certain neighborhoods, reluctance to visit particular cities...
The burden of proof lies with the plaintiff ... so, HE needs to prove it. And that's not very likely.
That's correct, sir. Their "patriotism" is beyond question...just ask them, they'll let you know.
Mr. Faris, Freddy Fender called. He wants his look back.
It will be a big letdown if that intercept wasn't part of an "unconstitutional" NSA program but was actually authorized by a court order. All he'll have left is the ever-reliable "my first lawyer was an idiot" argument.
I'm so glad we treat terrorism as a police matter for the courts. Now we get to spend tons of money keeping these people locked up.
"Lyman Farris' Day Off"
"Attorney David Smith", no wonder so many people hate lawyers!
Yep, it's working and the Prez mentioned that it had stopped some attacks, during his SOTU speech. The MSM pointed out how he defiantly defended the plan, but tended to omit the part that pointed out it has already had some successes in stopping the bad guys.
The feds better mover RIGHT NOW and start arresting, charging, trying and convicting people for TREASON. I suggest they start by raiding the NY Times and Wash Post newsrooms.
