Rakoff, Jed Saul
Born 1943 in Philadelphia, PA
Federal Judicial Service:
U. S. District Court, Southern District of New York
Nominated by William J. Clinton on October 11, 1995,
Type - "R" at the beginning of his name is really a "J".
Appeal.
There ain't no way. The Democrats and the judges they appoint undermine the country every chance they get.
"No"
Would it be asking too much to have the
Barrett report, unredacted, released also? I thought not.
"On Jan. 23, Rakoff ordered the military to turn over uncensored copies of transcripts and other documents from 317 military hearings for detainees at the prison camp. There were another 241 detainees who refused to participate in the Combatant Status Review Tribunals and the Defense Department said no transcripts exist of those hearings."
Evidently, these transcripts are of the Tribunals and not of interrogations, etc. Probably not a lot of information there.
Figures it is a Clinton appointee.
This has to go to SCOTUS, soon as possible.
War detainees are just that WAR DETAINEES.
The few that have been released have a large percentage of coming back to haunt us.
Hey, Rakoff, make us!

The Defense Department earlier released transcripts after the AP filed suit under the Freedom of Information Act, but the names and other details of detainees were blacked out.
The Defense Department said it would obey the judge's order.

Smells like an ACLU FOIA request, again. Again it seems as though the ACLU and the courts are out to sabotage the War on Terror.
These bozo judges could care less whether we might someday turn some of these folks and send them back out to work for us. If we release the names, then AQ will know who to look out for.
Since when was the constitution changed to have the Military report to the Judicial branch? Did I oversleep and miss a constitution rewrite again?
And this judge has an army of how many to enforce his orders?
Pentagon to Judge Rackoff (rhymes with. . .), "Eat Our Grits and Pound Sand.'
Who the hell does this so-called "judge" think he is and why hasn't he been taken out and shot yet? America is at war right now with people who want to kill us. We don't have time for judicial silliness from some old, senile crackpot who doesn't have a life and has entered into the Alzheimers phase of his life.
