So, I take it you're saying a military tribunal is okay with you, so long as he gets his day in court.
That may indeed be the best way to go- after the war is over.
No, Bubba. Forget it- you'll never convince me that our government is out to get me. Take care. Time for a beer.
What, pray tell, marks this point in the present case? And who shall decide it, the executive?
Straw man argument. What you need to become aware of is that a blind lion has been let loose. It may not be specifically "out to get you" but if you come across its path beware!
Now comes the attack on something off topic. Stick to whether any citizen has rights, or just the ones the government says have rights. I say you are a terrorist. You better hope I don't find out who you are, or you will have no rights either. Imbecile.
You really dishonor the name of a great man.
Your ad hominem attacks on this and other threads today say all that any Freeper needs know about you. If you'd like to know EXACTLY who I am, where I live and what time I'll meet you, just Freepmail me. That's how scared I am. Bye sweetheart. LIBERAL tarian.
I'll frame you of course, but it's no problem because you will not have any rights. You will be arrested, taken into custody without any charges, not allowed any phone calls or an attorney, and you will be held indefinately. All on the say so of the government thugs who's boots you lick.
I'll be waiting for the info, thanks.
ps- did you finish with the other 3 flame wars you had yeaterday? SCUM, simply scum.
All you're capable of is little flame wars on FR. What's wrong stock broker, are all your customers bailing on ya? Need to vent somewhere else? Hmmmmmm? Get lost jerk.
Consider yourself ignored. Threaten me again like you did above and you'll be reported to FR.
Well, somebody has got to hear this case, whether it be a military or civilian court. Otherwise the Constitutional guarantee of a speedy trial is a mockery. The SCOTUS could well decide to hear it directly, if nobody else steps up to the plate.
Note: there has been no war declared. So the basic premise of Quirin has not been met.
I expected Yosemite Sam.
The fact you feel so threatened by a little rhetoric is telling.
Oh, and the actual Quirin ruling was to deliver the suspects to a military court... that was the sole impact of the ruling. All else was obiter dicta. The military court at least permitted the possibility of a defense, however remote its likelihood of success.
Now isn't this beautiful... we are claiming Quirin to prevent Padilla from being called up by a civilian court, yet we have no declaration of war so there is no military tribunal to hear it. I don't know what SCOTUS will do with this grand cop-out of judicial responsibility, but we can't let it stand. It will be the thin edge of a wedge of government tyranny. Perpetual war with Eastasia anyone???
Which is worse, hallucinations of threats are typed threats by a coward?
Consider yourself unimportant. Now, make sure you give another 6 responses to this too. See ya schizo.
Excuse me, I had to laugh at this since you said I was hallucinating, yet you quoted me on something I never said. Oh, now that is comedy! Sorry I didn't answer sooner. But, it was great fun to see nevertheless. You are a stich!
