So, as usual, the Junk Media has it all wrong. The stupid Leftist on the SC have trapped their terrorist buddies in Legal Limbo. They cannot be tried by Military Tribunals, they cannot be tried in US Courts and we can hold them " until the end of hostilities". The SC ACTUALLY made their situation WORSE. The can now be prisoners forever.
The other thing most of the Junk Media have missed is that this is NOT a decision from the "Bush Court" but the last incoherent, illegal and intellectually vacuous scream from the Clinton Court. Since Roberts had to recuse himself, the 5 Leftists simply chose to ignore the Constitution, ignore the Congress, IGNORE the clear direction in the Geneva Conventions about "Unlawful Combatants" and impose their own emotion based whimsy on the Law. Stupid legally, morally and politically.
Why Politically? Because this decision, like the Iraq votes, the Flag Burning Amendment vote and the Gay Marriage vote remind a disgruntled Conservative base WHY no Leftist can be trust with any political power, at any time at any level. Way to hammer home the wedges into your own political base Democrats! Way to dig yourself into a political hole all while helping fill in the hole the Republican Leadership had dug for themselves!
The really amusing thing is the Stupid Left is so hysteric about "Beating Bush" they have NO clue just how utterly stupid and counter productive the Courts actions were!
Well Hewitt, Bennet and McConnel. I was expecting a quite thread because of the Holiday weekend but maybe not. They really are getting pathetically transparent in their Leftist Cheerleading. Keller's "defense" of the NY Times not only is nonsense, it is a lie. He makes claims that the Wall Street Journal exposed as a complete lie yesterday. Be interesting to see if any of our "Journalists" in the Junk Media will call him on his lies or if it will once again be left to Talk Radio and the Blogs to expose this treasonous fraud.
The Sunday Show Preview
By: Mark Kilmer · Section: Other Politics
For Sunday, June 18, 2006Meet the Press (NBC): Host Tim Russert will have Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer on to discuss the usual stuff and, in words from the MTP web site, "the Supreme Court's rebuke of Bush's use of military tribunals."
FOX News Sunday (FNS): Host Chris Wallace talks to Lindsey Graham and Jack Reed about the Hamdan decision, then to NASA Administrator Michael Griffin about the future of government space flight.
Face the Nation (CBS): Host Bob Schieffer will chat with Arlen Specter and Carl Levin about the Hamdan decision, and he'll chat with New York Times editor/agent Bill Keller about his paper's penchant for providing defense secrets to America's enemies.
This Week (ABC): Host George Stephanopoulos interviews John McCain about John McCain, the Hamdan case, torture at Gitmo, and John McCain.
Late Edition (CNN): Host Wolf Blitzer will chat with Peter King and Barney Frank, Saeb Erakat and Shimon Peres (probably not at the same time), and Tony Orlando. Yes, Tony Orlando, tying a yellow ribbon for the prisoners at Gitmo. It has been a long time for their sweethearts, and the question remains: "Do you still want me jihadding?"
In all fairness, I do not know why Tony Orlando will be on Late Edition.
-----I've noted that Jack Reed, the Rhode Island Dem, is becoming a frequent face on these shows. He has been in Iowa a lot recently, using his wife's family as a cover, but we could be looking at a nascent Jack Reed for President movement. Who'd have thunk it? Certainly not anyone sane.
Specter and Levin deserve each other, but Specter mouthing off is our best shot at news out of these shows.
The Times' Keller will be appearing on Dan Rather's former network, where had he chosen, the erstwhile anchor could be sitting quietly with an office and a secretary. Perhaps Keller could borrow a few excuses.
