An e-mail campaign is being aimed at a federal judge who sided with six Muslim imams who were booted from an airline flight after other passengers and crew became suspicious of their behavior.
The judge, U.S. District Judge Ann Montgomery, has issued a ruling in a lawsuit brought by the imams that dismissed most of the defense arguments raised by U.S. Airways, saying it was "dubious" that a "reasonable" person would have been suspicious of the imams because of their behavior.
It was Nov. 20, 2006, when the six dropped to their knees in an airport terminal and prayed loudly to Allah, according to the Florida Family Association, the campaign organizer.
"Then they separated and individually boarded the jet. They asked for seat belt extenders which were considered unnecessary by the airlines because of the size of the men. The imams also made anti-American comments about the war in Iraq. Several passengers, as well as the crew, became alarmed by what they felt was suspicious behavior of the imams. The airport police and Federal Air Marshal agreed the circumstances were suspicious enough to warrant asking the men to leave the airplane," the group said.

I’m guessing Judge Ann sits first class and doesn’t have to worry about what’s going on with the peasants back in coach.
Is this “dubious” judge, per chance, a Clintonista?
Montgomery, Ann D.
Born 1949 in Litchfield, MN
Federal Judicial Service:
Judge, U. S. District Court, District of Minnesota
Nominated by William J. Clinton on November 27, 1995, to a seat vacated by Diana E. Murphy; Confirmed by the Senate on August 2, 1996, and received commission on August 6, 1996.
U.S. Magistrate Judge, U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, 1994-1996
Oh, indeed....
I suppose she considers herself reasonable.
Perhaps, in the words of her mentor, she thought the claims required "a willing suspension of disbelief."

Is she crazy? I’m a reasonable person and tolerant toward all religions, but if I saw that behavior I wouldn’t have even got on the plane to go to my dying mother’s bedside.
I’d take another plane rather than risk arriving at the Pearly Gates before her.
Oh, just think. She is representative of the type of worthless, agenda-driven judge that Our Lady of the Darkside will nominate for SCOTUS if, God forbid, she is elected. Horror of horrors!
That is good. It is very good.
Good question!
It's a shame she can't be made to answer it publicly.
You know the answer to that is NO, they wouldn’t allow that.
It is an interesting question, and it brings up an interesting scenario.
If someone there in the area were to actually stage such a demonstration to make your point, do you suppose that it would make quite a stir in the news?
How do you suppose Judge Montgomery would feel about a demonstration designed to make her see if... "a 'reasonable' person would have been suspicious of the imams "some Christians" because of their behavior.”
'I see my hands' wrote - "Would you permit six good old boys praying loudly outside your courtroom that God brings vindictive justice to all judges to enter your courtroom?"
It certainly would create a dramatic visual lesson for her to experience.
In Minnesota??
I see all three of us going to jail.
I wouldn’t want that.
Nah. Once was enough for me.
