Restraining order against Bush denied ( suffering from radioactive fallout ? )

A federal judge on Wednesday denied a former Republican congressional candidate’s request for a restraining order barring President Bush or Vice President Richard Cheney from bombing Iran or Syria.

Mary Maxwell, 59, of 179 Loudon Road, Apt. 10, Concord, filed a lawsuit Monday against Bush, Cheney and other “unnamed defendants actively engaging in acts of war against Iran and Syria in the guise of the war against terrorism.”

Maxwell’s suit seeks a ruling that the administration lacks legal authority to pre-emptively attack either Iran or Syria without a Congressional declaration of war, and that radioactive fallout from the use of nuclear weapons in any such attack would endanger people around the world, including herself.

Maxwell was one of two candidates who unsuccessfully challenged six-term Republican incumbent Congressman Charles Bass in the primary election last week.

Maxwell argues that the Bush administration has claimed broad executive war powers by declaring a “war on terrorism,” and that Congress has shown a disinclination to challenge that authority.

Her suit cites media reports from various sources, citing Pentagon plans for pre-emptive nuclear strike on Iran, and also reporting on the limited extent of Congressional opposition to the Bush administration’s war powers.

While the Bush administration has yet to respond to Maxwell’s suit, U.S. District Court Judge Paul Barbadoro on Wednesday denied her request for an emergency temporary restraining order barring the administration from attacking Iran or Syria.

Maxwell...bringing suit to avoid personal injury from radioactive fallout.

Mary Marxist?

She needs to be very thankful there is not a stupidity tax in the US.

Given some recent SCOTUS decisions, e.g. Hamdan, apparently the Courts believe they have jurisdiction over national security matters. We should just be thankful that she lost the primary.....otherwise the NRCC would be pumping money into her campaign.

Here is her website when she was running for Congress. It's a a hoot. This woman's cheese has slid completely off her crackers. I especially liked her section of martial law and nuclear war. Koo-koo!

“Unless I personally can show harm, I don’t have standing to bring the case,” ...

Next step - get the American Psychological Association to recognize Bush Derangement Syndrome as a mental illness, and then she can "show harm."

No court has the authority to rule on such a suit regardless of the evidence.

[george76]

She could go to Iran to be a human shield.
