(3-judge panel, 9th Circuit) Rules ALL GITMO detainees must have access to an attorney

Fox

[Cultural Jihad]

Why not combine the two court cases and state that only terrorists are free to have a political voice close to an election?

[John Beresford Tipton]

"How does the 9th circuit even have jurisdiction to make a ruling in this case?"

Brother of a detainee lives in the Central District of California, and is petitioner in the application. [It's all in the opinion]

[StriperSniper]

Can't say that doesn't sound good. ;-)

[Viking2002]

I see the 9th Circus is in full beserker/sedition mode today.....

[clintonh8r]

The prisoners need to be freed in time to help Deanie Weenie with his campaign....

[basque69]

Lincoln on the Merryman case. "Let Taney (Chief Justice)
enforce his order".

[Dog Gone]

If I recall, Reinhardt was also the 9th Circus judge who tried to throw out the California recall election in September.

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

Meaningless, except that it's a step along the way for SCOTUS to make the final ruling.

God help us! You can bet that SCOTUS will use it to take away another right from us.

[Beck_isright]

So between Al-Queda and Bill Clinton controlling most of the judiciary, why bother fighting the WOT any more?

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

On to the supremes.

Boo HISS HISS!

[Puppage]

By all means. I'd be honored.

[TheCrusader]

"Why don't we just start line'n up & let these scumbag muslim sh*theads just take us out? WTF is going on in this country?"

The same thing that was going on in Spain during the Spanish Inquisition. After finally throwing off the yoke of centuries of Islamic rule, the King & Queen found their country was infiltrated with Muslim "converts", (false converts whose role it was to infiltrate and destroy Spain from within). Hence, the Inquisition to feret out 'heretics' was launched. Of course, 'heretic' was merely the official cover name they used to rid themselves of anti-Spanish infiltrators, spies and subversives. Our judicial system is brimming over with these types of fraudulent "Americans". We need a sort of counter-Inquisition to identify and impeach these subversive "Justices". They are usurping their Constitutional authority and overthrowing our nation from within.

[riri]

On to the supremes.

yeah, now that is comforting.

[alancarp]

Does the 9th circuit ITSELF lie within the bounds of the United States? It certainly doesn't abide in the bounds of logic, reason, fact, or law.

[hankbrown]

Sandra Day O'Connor will probably hold that they are entitled to access to U.S. Courts for 20 years and after that it will not be necessary.

[GreenLanternCorps]

Unfortunately, the one time a President stood up to the Supreme Court, the Court was right.

The Indian Removal Act was a travesty and a robbery veiled as an Act of Congress. Jackson was wrong.

The Indian Removal Act
The Fugitive Slave Act
Dred Scott

Yeah, the pre Civil War South was real big on individual rights... Bull****!

[Cogadh na Sith]

Once they were transported to US soil (GITMO qualifies) they are afforded due-process protections of the Constitution.

Just like the 9th Circus Court you are wrong, wrong, wrong:

GITMO does not qualify as US soil because the lease establishing the base in 1903 and re-established in 1934 upholds Cuban sovereignty of the land the base is on.

The US has neither Territorial Jurisdiction nor Sovereign Jurisdiction, we merely have 'Jurisdiction and Control'--in that we can exercise jurisdiction over crimes occuring ON that land and restrict access to that land.

Now take that tablecloth off your head...

[demlosers]

Those losers in the 9th never quit!

[Thud]

Yup. I live here and am not worried. If some other circuit had said this, I'd be worried. But not about ANY 9th Circuit opinion.

[TheBattman]

What the hell? they're not US citizens! They are terrorists and thus aren't covered by the Geneva Accords.

Nor the US Constitution.....
