Tamil Tigers are not a terrorist group? I give up.

[Cicero]

Another Clinton appointee, of course. Central District of California, in L.A.

Here's an article from the Washington Times concerning another decision striking down anti-terrorist laws in 2004.

Don't give up! Just count the number of mosques in your neighbourhood, then stay well armed and safe!................FRegards

Imagine having judges like this when we were fighting WWII.

We'd all be saying "Sieg Heil" to Hitler's successor, and the Jews would have been pretty much exterminated.

I'd have to read the ruling, but to suggest that the executive, empowered with specific charges from the legislative, is not able to perform those duties without calling the law itself unconstitutional is one of those things that typically the Ninth Circus is all about. This, if it goes further, will be nipped in the bud, and like any other inane ruling from a court, should be completely ignored.

The Administration's response should be: The judge is a moron.

[moonman]

DANG! I have my own 'terrorist' list. It was because of the vague language, I felt eliminating them was going to be legal per declared, War on Terror. Dang! /s

[SandRat]

Just what I figured,....the LIBERAL RDDBs Judge-Shopped.

[Mad Dawg]

I guess the judge thinks that the US cannot legitimately fight a war -- any war.

[YellowRoseofTx]

So this liberal appointee reversed her own decision AFTER the dims were elected.....hummmm, what a surprise.

We would have if the United States & the Soviet were not allies in fighting Nazi Germany. Remember before Hitler turned on Stalin their was a strong Antiwar movement in the US headed by the Communists. That all changed after the Nazis invaded the USSR. Biggest mistake Bush made after 9/11 was not reenacting the sedition laws on the books in both WWI & WWII. He should have realized that the American LEFT with their brothers in the MSM & democratic party at some point would undermine the war effort.

"Imagine having judges like this when we were fighting WWII"

They would have been jailed, or hanged, or shot. The greatest generation knew how to deal with enemies.

[prov1813man]

Amen. The sedition act should have been among the first steps.

[FlingWingFlyer]

What in the hell would a moronic pervert in a black robe know about terrorists? These unicycle riding buffoons have definitely overstepped their limits.

[VeniVidiVici]

To a Democrat judge the Tamil Tigers are not a terrorist group.

[JHBowden]

"Another Clinton appointee, of course."

The Clintons aren't serious about fighting terrorism. Many forget that WJC pardoned 16 Marxist cop-killing FALN terrorists to help his wife appeal to Puerto Ricans in New York.

And many here are willing to hand these guys back the executive branch again.

Yet another reason why I wish they were still around today.

As far as I'm concerned, the only people who are using unconstitutional powers are dem appointed judges, who seem to think that the Judicial system has suddenly changed and given them the power to play God. We better pray the dems don't ever get a total majority on the Supreme Court, otherwise we'll be seeing crap like this on a grander, and more dangerous, scale.

Same group that is trying to get Germany to bring torture charges against Rummy!

Too late, the "brilliant" voters decided to hand over judges to the liberal Dems in the Congress.

It's called "sending a message".

[WildBill2275]

"she ruled the provisions remained too vague to be understood by a person of average intelligence and were therefore unconstitutional."

Ruling that portions of the Patriot Act were too vague this same "whack job" established a right for a person of average person intelligence to understand the law.

So on this basis the Income Tax statutes are unconstitutional not to mention Campaign Finance and most of the other laws written recently (say since 1920?).

We want this one committed to a mental institution, not impeached!
