Levin on Reaction to Gitmo Ruling: Reporters Spewing Enemy Yalking Points

In case you missed it, the Supreme Court Thursday bestowed Constitutional rights to terrorists currently held at Guantanamo Bay. The broadcast evening news programs predictably saw this as a stinging defeat for the Bush administration. Conservative radio talk show host and constitutional lawyer Mark Levin stated that reporters making such statements "are lying through their teeth. They are propagandists, spewing the talking points of the enemy." Levin took the Supreme Court to task for this ruling as well as the predictable standing ovation from the MSM. He said denying foreign enemy combatants access to U.S. courts is an incident of war. Every single president of the United States has taken this position. Every single one. The Court always understood that war was not their province, and that enemy combatants held overseas was not their business. But now we have, thanks to activist judges placed on our courts, a totally different mentality, treating people who would slaughter us, who would blow up our citizens, who would decapitate children, as people who are abused by us at Guantanamo Bay.

The Great One also made these observations: "I am telling you, these five rogue justices, who lie about the law, who lie about precedent, and who lie about what they're up to, expose our armed forces on the battlefield to extraordinary danger. And they expose you and me to extraordinary danger. Because let us remember the reason Guantanamo is where it is so that when we capture these terrorists on the battlefield, we can interrogate them, find out what they know, about their hierarchy, about their strategies, about the potential next attack, and we've gotten extremely useful information in many cases. This is NOT part of the criminal justice system. We're not interested in prosecuting them under our criminal laws. We're interested in survival, and protecting the American soldier and the American people in a time of war. Every president has done this. Every single one. And when Supreme Court justices sit down with pen in hand, and rewrite the law, because they want to advance the cause of the ACLU, and the Marxist lawyers who represent the terrorists, shame on them."

Hey SE Mom! Our postings were only 1 second apart from each other! How weird is that?

[dforest]

I don’t want to “yalk about it. A new good one. LOL

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

Mark is “on target” with his observations and statements.
I listened to that show - he was great.

[ishabibble]

This is how we used to defend our country. This is what we used to do to the enemy. These six are in the Guinness Book as the fastest executions ever. The other two were imprisoned, deported, forever disgraced.

“Yalk” — is that comprised of “Yield and talk”? LOL

:) Hey Silvie!

This was one of Mark’s finest rants!

So you load them all up in a plane to bring them to US court, chained to the floor like in US Marshals. Make sure their lawyers are with them for comfort sake. Then somewhere over the ocean the pilots and crew bail out. Charges set in the engines take them out one at a time.

Problem solved!

And now terrorists have more rights than our military. Our troops require a majority for conviction. Terrorists get unanimous.

From now on there won’t be very many more goons coming back to be interrogated. They’ll just become a statistic.

Honorable Judge Scalia: "What drives today's decision is neither the meaning of the Suspension Clause,
nor the principles of our precedents, but rather an inflated notion of judicial supremacy"

Rouge terrorist supporter to America: "I am in charge. Now die, and when you do, we own your property."

[Lockbox]

Only logical solution, take no enemy combatants alive. End of problem.

[muawiyah]

Fact of the matter is that if you saw one of these terrorist pukes out on the street you would be entitled to dispose of him as trash.

Doesn't matter what the USSC says about "his rights" once he's loose.

I'd say the SC has left us with but one alternative:

Shoot ILLEGAL combatants upon capture, & leave the ACLU & CAIR with nobody to defend in court.

Next, of course, will be that the terrorists CANNOT be questioned without their lawyer present. So, there goes our ability to glean info from them. That makes keeping them alive unnecessary, so line them up against a wall & shoot them.

Make sure Ramsey Clark has a seat on that plane load of gitmo goons when it hits the water.

I would have the Coast Guard ready to pick em up. Either that, or we get someone we don’t care for to fly them out, then we save on parachutes.

A very interesting and dramatic story with a lesson. Thanks.

[T.L.Sink]

Scalia is right, as usual.
