Bias suit against US Airways upheld
washington times ^ | November 21, 2007 | Audrey Hudson

Posted on 11/21/2007 2:34:23 PM PST by rocksblues

A federal judge has ruled that a lawsuit filed by a group of imams against US Airways and a Minneapolis airport can proceed.

U.S. District Judge Ann Montgomery said in a 41-page opinion late yesterday that the imams, who say they were discriminated against when they were removed from a flight last year, have a plausible claim that their constitutional rights may have been violated.

The imams "have adequately stated a claim" that airport police may have "seized plaintiffs in violation of their Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures," Judge Montgomery ruled.

Well I don’t know.

Shouldn’t she err on the side of allowing the case to go forward? Maybe it would just be better to allow this thing to go through our court system.

The American public ain’t gonna like it one whit.

I’m not sure this is a bad thing.

What an incredibly stupid woman. Everybody in the country is aware of the suspicious behavior exhibited by these men engaged in a probing mission and/or publicity stunt. Fit this moron judge for a burka.

I posted this because none of the reported acts committed by these so called religious people was stated in the article.

I still find it ridiculous that this happened not within the US District court of Michigan but was filed there.

It’s too bad that the average citizen will eventually suffer due to the stupidity of this deutsche-bag. Justice would be served if only the deutsche-bags were the victims of terror attacks they helped to create. The same rule should apply to the deutsche-bags who support illegal immigration. What would our Founding Fathers do if they were living in America today?

This is how US Airways should have handled this situation and any other like it.

They would be happy to see that the people, through the jury system still make these decisions.

A LOW, VILE, TERRORIST ENABLING DEMORAT POLITICAL HACK MASQUERADING AS A JUDGE. If Hillary or Osama is elected, the courts will be flooded with more of her kind. We will be back to the nineties, when those in authority did everything possible to make the terrorists' job easy for them. The imans were clearly on a probe, with the double mission of testing our defenses and , if they were found strong, weakening them through legal intimidation. The judge has taken the side of the terrorists against America. Simple as that.
