Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell pointed to the acquittal of Casey Anthony as an example of why the U.S. civilian court system should not be trusted to try terror suspects.
Anthony, the Florida mother charged with killing her 2-year-old daughter Caylee in 2008, was found not guilty Tuesday on all charges except lying to investigators. Becoming perhaps the first lawmaker to do so, McConnell drew a lesson Sunday from that case in connection with the debate in Washington over whether to try suspected terrorists in federal courts.

The collapse of the GOP is happening before your eyes. The Tea Party is the ant-black caucus. Not needy. We don’t like it.

Terrorists should not be “captured”. That was then this is now. Yes I am saying that. If they are caught here. You can't capture a terrorist overseas in an undeclared war. This is for those like 007.with a liscense to kill.

In a civilian court there is at least 95% chance that a judge will either find them not guilty or just give them the minimum sentence.
No the need to be tried in a military court

Pissing on the 6th Amendment to justify the handling of enemy combatants is not acceptable.

If so, then you are out of your mind
