It's See-Bs. How anyone can still take them seriously as a source of information is beyond me.
CBS NEWS should worry about their own loss of power.
prepare for the endless round-after-round of handwringing over Scalia's refusal to recuse himself when this does not go their way.
CBS news and a RAT talking. Ha! Lots of luck stupid.
Here's an idea: Let's put this one to a congressional vote as well. Regardless of how people respnd to polls. On election day, terrorism will always be the number one issue.
"Lots of luck stupid"
I meant Lots of luck stupid CBS and RATs.
Just because a justice repeats his previous written opinions at a public venue does not make a case for recusal.
Methinks that the people with a weak case were overreaching by asking Scalia to recuse himself.
I wonder when they'll demand Ruth Bader Ginsberg recuse herself from all ACLU cases because of her affiliation with the ACLU for so many years. Especially when the case pertains to abortion or lowering the age of consent, etc.
Maybe we should start sending emails to ABC-DNC/CBS-DNC/NBC-DNC [MSM/DNC] and ask that question.
Only an idiot would claim otherwise:
"...(2) REVIEW OF COMBATANT STATUS TRIBUNAL AND MILITARY COMMISSION DECISIONS- Paragraphs (2) and (3) of subsection (e) shall apply with respect to any claim whose review is governed by one of such paragraphs and that is pending on or after the date of the enactment of this Act."
Foreign combatants fighting against the U.S. have not rights under the Constitution, and combatants who violate the obligations of combatants under the Geneva Convention and other treaties which create the "laws of war" have no rights under those treaties.
Should be a short deliberation.
I wonder if she will stay awake.
Who are these generals? Do they have aspirations in some future Democrat adminstration or on the staffs of some Dem politicians?
Still on the subject of Guantanamo Bay, Scalia also referred to the war in Iraq, saying: "I have a son on that battlefield and they were shooting at my son and I am not to give this, this man who is captured in a war, a full jury trial."
Now that's interesting. I did not know that Scalia has a son in the military. How many national politicians can say that?
Am I missing something? I don't see Kennedy's name anywhere in that article. Kennedy will almost certainly be the deciding vote, so how do you get "no" from an article where Kennedy isn't even mentioned?
Brig. Gen. David Brahms, Brig Gen. James Cullen, Vice Adm. Lee Gunn, Rear Adm. John Hutson, and Rear Adm. Donald Guter.
PS. Matthew Scalia is an Army captain.
Which the press lied about. They took a gesture meaning "I don't care" and said he made a "vulgar" gesture, implying that he flipped the bird when he did no such thing.
