Our President doesn't think the Terrorsit will make it to GITMO

But muh sympathy and understanding.

statistically that process takes much longer than going through the Federal system...

Have we ever prosecuted someone at Gitmo? I think our judicial system is hitting 100% on all the prisoners transferred from Gitmo.

I'm a little taken back that he tweeted " death penalty".

Most of us are quite okay with that outcome after he suffers tremendously from interrogations, but not sure I like the POTUS tweeting that.

Yup, 100% on terrorists in the federal system and apparently its much more efficient at disposing of these pieces of shite than the military system has been.

Trump just wants to be seen as proactive so he's spewing a bunch of dumb, uninformed shite.

I actually disagree with Trump here.

I’m happy to spend my tax dollars toward brutally torturing this piece of shite for a while.

Giving this dude the death penalty is just giving him what he wants so he can go spend time with his virgins.

Trump doesn't tweet as the president. He tweets from the POV of the average everyday American. Accurately too

Ouur President doesn't think the Terrorsit will make it to GITMO

Regardless.....that terrorist will never exist as a free man ever again.

quote:

I feel like you should forfeit all of your rights the moment you get charged with an act of terror.

---

I don't disagree, but there is no mechanic within the Constitution, regardless of your crime (even treason) that allows for forfeiture of your Constitutional rights.

For good or ill, that is what our forefathers wrote into the Bill of Rights.

The Ninth Amendment:

quote:

---

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

---

Now, without diving too far in, it should be very clear that the Constitution does not GIVE you rights.

It says that those ARE your rights, and specifically forbids the government from taking them from you. Any law, for ANY reason, that would allow the government to remove any right protected within the Bill of Rights is a violation of that. Be it your First amendment right to freedom of speech and religion, your Second amendment right to bear arms, or your Sixth amendment right to counsel.

Another broken promise.

There was a chance right after 9/11 to activate a Military Tribunal modeled on the one in this case. The fear was that the Left would never allow it and, of course, no non -Leftist would fight for setting it up. The "cave in" to the Left was immediate and happened without even a whimper.

MTs have streamlined process for unlawful enemy combatants. When done correctly, MTs can be vastly more efficient than a federal court in Manhattan.

But we should forget about MTs now. They will never happen. MTs aren't even on the radar screen.

Here's the case:

Ex parte Quirin

SO, since we will never have MTs, lets send the guy to a federal criminal court in Manhattan to make sure that he has the full and strong panoply of US Constitutional rights afforded to every peaceful US citizen. AND let's make sure that he has the right to preach from the witness stand about the evils of White Racist KKK USA.
