FBI was shocked when a Judge came into the hospital room to Mirandize the Boston bomber. Megyn Kelly does an impressive job explaining the chain of events and the implications. [...] Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was caught alive but wounded on Friday and charged with use of a weapon of mass destruction, for which he could get the death penalty. The FBI filed a federal criminal complaint against the 19-year-old on Sunday, and federal District Court Judge Marianne Bowler arrived at the hospital where he is being treated to preside over his initial hearing Monday, when she read him his Miranda rights.

The part about the judge going to the hospital room had me, but the Napalitano said that does happen so that the presiding judge will know the suspect was read his rights.
I still don't like it myself. The little creep should be treated as an enemy combatant, and I do feel that this order to Mirandize him came from high up, probably Holder. The wheels of justice turn slow. Maybe more information can be dragged out of the perp that will lead to other terrorist cells, but I think that info died with his brother, who seemed to be more the mastermind behind all this.
Time will tell.
More than likely.
there is not one of us who a judge would come and visit us in the hospital to read us our rights.....we’d be in jail immediately...
No. Not if they want to remain on the public's payroll.
And, getting a job in the private sector is . . . . . . well . . . . . . . too much like work!
As for the overwhelming evidence against Tsarnaev, we have a Constitutional process for presenting that evidence at trial. It works for all of us or it doesn't work at all.
We should guard against selective protection of citizens' rights, and we must ensure that they apply to the worst and most hated criminal defendants. Who's to say that Christians won't be the most despised people in America in a few more years?
"Boston Bomber Magistrate’s Middle Eastern Connections"
Possible...criminals seem to have their own court of justice regarless of what they’re charged with in the legal courts. They do seem to get those who have k*lle* many though.
Tsarnaev is an American citizen arrested and charged with committing a crime on American soil. For a similar act, Timothy McVeigh was tried, convicted and executed without his Constitutional rights being ignored. Tsarnaev deserves the same treatment, and if convicted, the same punishment.
Let's fast forward to a time in which your beliefs and way of life place you outside the law, even in Florida... Will you then possess the rights of an American citizen, or might a bureaucrat popularly label you as an "enemy combatant?"
Not only have US Citizens been declared enemy combatants, they’ve been executed for it. 71 years ago!

On the other hand, continued interrogation could have yielded more useful information about others involved, including connections to people in or close to the regime--which is why the judge was sent in to shut him up by reminding him to "remain silent."
And the Feds are trying to imply that these guys did this on their own. Complete BS...I smell yet another coverup...
> This guy will end up doing some time and then he’ll be out....now it may take some time..but he’s going to walk on our streets again.
And even more determined to blow up U.S citizens...
If the Tsarnaev's had blown up an empty office building or similar place, without loss of life, I could go easier on him.
Look Bozo, there was more than enough evidence to the contrary of what you
advocate.they were noted by our own intelligence via the Russians!
more than enough evidence for militant enemy combatant status.
This is obama’s cover for terrorism. All this does is tie-up the courts. we have laws that deal with domestic terrorism
but Zer0 and Holder trumped them.
this does nothing to embolden civil rights but plays into the manipulation of our justice system which favors enemy combatants.
Don’t flash the civil rights B.S. Go back to your hole, troll.
That would be the late Speed Bump Tsarnaev. The "citizen" is his little brother Joker Tsarnaev, in custody and hopefully at the beginning of a long journey to Terre Haute.
After listening to Mark Levin explain this several times, I still doubt I could accurately repeat the finer points of it all.
What I do believe to understand is that yes, there is no doubt his actions fall under terrorism and thus he would be afforded no miranda rights, however, with the help of leiberman and graham, they passed a resolution to give due process rights to terrorists...in line with the whole unintended consequences theme.
It was passed in 2001 and stated that an enemy combatant had to have a connection to al quaeda or be an operative of al quaeda...however you spell that dang word!
Just go to his web page and anyone can listen for free to his shows this week, he covers it several times.
What is important is that the moment he was Mirandized is he quit talking. What is important is our justice department sent in a Federal Judge to Mirandize him knowing he would then stop talking. WHY DID THEY DO THIS???????????
I understand your thinking here, but it appears to be far more complex than what you are stating.
Go listen to Mark Levin’s shows from this week, he explains it in detail.
In my mind “enemy combatant” applies to these guys. It fits his feelings and his actions and the dynamics would have been different if non-citizen big brother had been captured alive. They were not natural born and they murdered and maimed innocent Americans because they don’t like what our government is doing overseas. They obviously had hatred for this country and it’s people. The younger one gaining his legal standing on Sept. 11th seemed to have been a ruse if you ask me.
And, he hasn’t shut up since being read his rights. Additionally, he and his idiot brother confessed to a third party who can testify, the carjacking victim. Most defense lawyers would try to exclude anything said prior to him being read his rights. He’s going away forever, if not being put to death.
