Jury Selection Set to Begin in 'Violent Jihad' Georgia Terror Plot Trial

ATLANTA — Choppy homemade videos, a mysterious trek to Bangladesh and ties to a convicted Balkan terrorist are at the center of a federal case against a 23-year-old accused supporting terrorism.

Ehsanul Islam Sadequee could face up to 60 years in prison on four charges that he conspired to help overseas terrorists wage "violent jihad" on America. Jury selection is to begin Monday and the trial is expected to last at least a week.

Sadequee made a series of short videos of the U.S. Capitol and other landmarks with a friend, Syed Ahmed, in April 2005. Prosecutors said the men were "casing" the landmarks, while defense attorneys have downplayed them, calling them silly and juvenile.

The videos helped sway a federal judge in June to convict Ahmed, a 24-year-old former Georgia Tech student who will be sentenced after Sadequee's trial. Ahmed could face up to 15 years in prison.

This writer would join with Patrick Buchanan and several others to urge a moratorium on ALL non-Christian migration into our nation. The Constitution provides Congress with plenary power to decide who gets in. Under the constitutional doctrine of non-justiciability, the laws of Congress in this area are un-reviewable by the Courts. It is a specified enumerated power given to Congress. I say, use it!

What enumerated power is it?

I'm not finding it. Could you be more specific, maybe a quotation?
