Didn't Terry Nichols do a plea bargain to get the death penalty off the table? I don't recall that he was ever accused of being present for the bombing, but I may be forgetting crucial details....

See this website on the Patriot Act:

I believe the implication is that the death penalty IS permitted for terrorists...I have to find the statute to absolutely prove it, but this definitely suggests it.
Hmmmmm. Guess the Rosenbergs got a raw deal.
Yes, you can even use RICO to ensnare the terrorists. Sometimes, I have heard the Judge not state the CURRENT state of the law. (I am a NON-PRACTICING attorney myself)..I do not claim that I am up to speed on all the various facets, but I try to keep up as best as my day job allows.
`(c) CONSPIRACY- A person who conspires to commit an offense under this section shall be subject to the same penalties (other than the penalty of death) as the penalties prescribed for the offense, the commission of which was the object of the conspiracy.'.
That's not what I am getting from it. But I am not an attorney.
Got caught up, but need to get some weaving done for this weekend.
I'll be back later, before we leave for lunch to soak up all y'alls wisdom. :-)
LL, get a few of those chores done this afternoon. ;-)

No you can be federally executed for treason or espionage, but you have to be a citizen of the US to be guilty of those crimes.
He's just a suicide bomber who doesn't have a bomb. Asking for death is his back pack loaded with explosives.
There isn't any conflict! I'm pro-life for the innocent and pro-death for the guilty.
I see your point in that parenthetical. That to me is another reason the civilian courts are not the proper forum. I still believe that Terrorism has been granted special status, but I'm going to have to actually look up the law and I don't have time to go to the Patriot and recent terrorist statutes...I think that's not complete.
OK got it. I'd better stay out since I don't listen to the show.
Maybe, Pinz, maybe...it looks like a lot to do...I might wait until Saturday when I won't be so tired and have more time.

Morning, Fox! ;>)
Here is where I got the information on the Patriot Act.

That being said. I merely have a BS in Criminal Justice. That hardly makes me an expert.
Morning All.
I'm in very late today.
Not a peep about a Press Briefing on CSPIN.
I think the President is traveling, so the press corps is with him.
We'll still have a Press Briefing Thread, but there might not be material for a daily one.
>I get so frustrated with conservatives who say they are going to vote third party.
Exactly.
Throw the bums out, but replace them with other Republicans.
When they elect RINOs like McLame, they have no room for complaints.
