Much has already been written of the U.S. Supreme Court's lawless, nonsensical decision in Boumediene v. Bush, the ruling that gives America's terrorist enemies unprecedented access to our civilian court system, but little has been written about the aggressively anti-American public interest law firm that helped to make it happen. (You can't miss the Washington Post's Dan Froomkin's idiotic, ahistorical ballad in which he grossly misrepresents the views of the Founding Fathers.)
The Center for Constitutional Rights, which acted as co-counsel in the case, is jumping for joy, hailing the decision handed down this week as a great triumph for the Constitution. I profiled CCR two years ago, noting that the frighteningly effective group was at the forefront of the legal left's push to give due process rights to America's terrorist enemies.
The group is headed by Michael Ratner, a wealthy communist who wrote a book praising mass murderer Che Guevara.
It should surprise absolutely no one that since 2002 George Soros's Open Society Institute has given CCR as much as $200,000.
Just realized he’s Ellen Ratner’s brother.
Ratner. Now that’s an appropriate name for this turncoat.
That’s what I keep asking myself.
I get all kinds of answers from myself.
-—the media
-—academia
-—snobbery and elitism which has dictated that those of ‘social importance’ are always leftists or useful idiots
But it comes down to leadership, leadership, leadership.
The left’s greatest triumph is preventing the emergence of a conservative leader.
Interesting how the radical Left have aligned with the Islamists. The enemy of my enemy...
I REALLY hope ratner is the next victim of aq.
And she's just as big a traitor.
I can't stand either one of them.
Michael Ratner, Lesbian Ellen’s brother and the family who used to own the Empire State Bldg. I believe!! WHAT A TRAITOR and AMERICA HATER!
True. I can still remember her saying that she wished the war in Iraq would go bad so Bush wouldn't get reelected. Here's the original FR thread on that:
Because our side seems to be too concerned with playing by Marquess of Queensbury rules.
ComoBama said it best - “They (GOP) want to bring a knife, we’ll bring a gun.” That sums it up.
This is war; the American Communist Insurgency (ACI) that is the Dem party understands it. Our elected reps seem afraid to go head to head with these A**holes.
Why? I have no clue. Maybe we need more combat veterans to run for office. People that will put these traitorous dirtbags in their place publicly. Come BACK from the desert, run for office, and liberate THIS country.
Our attitude should be - you put one of us in the hospital, or smear/defame one of our people unjustly, we put your whole frigging PARTY LEADERSHIP in jail for treason against the US Constitution and the American People.
What a pair of losers. Both of them deserve to be run out of the country.
