This could be an interesting fight.
BO is going to look like the ultimate horse’s ass in a very few months.
No surprise, really. President Obama’s request was patently unconstitutional as the 6th Amendment of the US Constitution guarantees a right to a speedy and public trial. A Presidential order demanding a 4 month delay - when there is no request from the prosecution OR defense - is patently unconstitutional!
In fact, if the judges upheld it, I would submit we petition the ACLU to sue the White House to remove its order as a violation of the 6th Amendment.
The “request” may soon become a direct order from the CIC...
Good for that judge. Oh and by the way where is the liberal outcry on the ice storm? Where is Obama and FEMA?
“At least 42 people have died, including 11 in Kentucky, and conditions are worsening in many places days after an ice storm knocked out power to 1.3 million customers from the Plains to the East Coast. And with no hope that the lights will come back on soon, small communities are frantically struggling to help their residents.” per BRUCE SCHREINER, Associated Press
See my post http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2175615/posts I am posting this every where as we the people need to stand up and yell about this. The libs and their hypocrisy!
Pohl may be taking a stand, but meanwhile elsewhere in the Navy:
“Pentagon spokesman Cmdr. Jeffrey D. Gordon said that “the Department of Defense is currently reviewing Judge Pohl’s ruling. We will be in compliance with the president’s orders regarding Guantanamo.”
