Watch this proceeding carefully for the 14th Amendment, not the 2nd, 5th or 6th, to raise it's ugly head and give Johnny Jihad his ticket to freedom.

From the article: "Thus, Mr. Lindh enjoys absolutely none of the conditions which led a divided Court to rule that Mr. Milligan was entitled to the Bill of Rights. "

Our government erred when it allowed Lindh to be re-patriated and tried in a US court. There is absolutely no way for a "fair" trial to be conducted in such a court with numerous arguments regarding the denial of Lindh's Constitutional rights. If Lindh may be arbitrarily denied his rights, then it is only necesary for the judge to declare him guilty and sentence him to death. Anything else is an admission that he has rights protected by the Constitution.

The US was under no obligation to take custody of Lindh and should have left him in the custody of the Northern Alliance. The fine print on Lindh's passport should have resulted in a legal move to strip him of his citizenship and, if successful, that would rid us of him forever.

Keeping and bearing arms is an unalienable human right. It is irrelevant to whether a person has committed some other crime. If it was a crime for Lindh to associate with the Taliban, then he would be a criminal if all he did was cook their breakfast. Keeping and bearing arms is not relevant to giving aid and comfort to an enemy.

My right to keep and bear arms was not created by the government and cannot be negated by the government. It can only be infringed by the government.
