Besides the fact that this won't pass the House, there won't be enough in either House to override a veto.
Let us prayerfully hope so. This has gotten totally out of hand. Imagine what incentive it is providing the goons as they hastly re-write parts of the Internet guides how to avoid a long capture with eventual freedom to come back and kill more infidels.
These morons have not a clue or do they, as how they are setting us up. Have a good one. I gotta try to get some sleep.
Some days it almost looks like some of our congresscritters are out to destroy us!
the habeas appeals for these prisoners are stacking up right now - every week we fly ACLU lawyers down to Gitmo to review these cases. this appeals mechanism replaces that, its a limited appeal, after which their sentencing is carried out solely by the military. this law does not give them US criminal trials, it merely allows a review (limited to 2 courts) of the military apparatus trying and sentencing them, once that hurdle is cleared, their fate belongs to the military.
its not perfect, but in light of the fact that the courts have already inserted themselves into this - its better then the status quo I think. I am open minded however, if someone can point out where I'm wrong, have at it.
