Some classy remarks here.

I remember this. Truer words were never spoken. And by a judge, no less!

I heard nothing of this. Nothing. How sad that we can't celebrate words that speak directly to our hearts and minds.
This is one for the printer/my archives. Thanks for posting.

I love this part: "The Court imposes upon you five years supervised release simply because the law requires it. But the life sentences are real life sentences so I need go no further." That's classy. That's like saying "I'm sentencing you to 80 years in prison; I know you may not live that long -- just do the best you can."

BIG BUMP and PING on this. Johnhuang2 and madfly, please ping your lists.

Please ... everyone read this Judge's comments to Reid, the shoe bomber. He nails so much that is important and good about our Republic and way of life ... and what should be occuring in our judicial system.

Please pass this around your email lists. This should be something every American reads, particularly the outh.

I will have this up on my Attack on America Site today.

Thanks for the ping

See that flag, Mr. Reid? That's the flag of the United States of America. That flag will fly there long after this is all forgotten. That flag stands for freedom. You know it always will.

Thanks for recycling the great remarks by this wonderful judge.

If we only had 1,000s of judges like William Young , America would be stronger.

I wish that we had a video of the ACLU Trial Lawyers to see their faces while Judge William Young made these remarks.

[mombonn]

Bravo, Judge Young! You're a plain-spoken man, not unlike my favorite President!

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Why is the word "snopes" stuck in my head?

[blam]

Bravo!

[Jeff Head]

I wish that we had a video of the ACLU Trial Lawyers to see their faces while Judge William Young made these remarks.

Agreed 100%.

[Jeff Head]

You know ... you may be right and I will check it out. Should have done that first, but I just noticed the source ... or properly said, lack thereof.

If it is wrong ... I apologize ... but they are good words just the same. I'll check back.

Thanks for the links. This judge was great and summarized how all of us who care about America, really feel about these scumbags who try to kill innocent Americans.
