Sen. Jim DeMint, South Carolina Republican, said in an interview that New Yorkers are being forced by the Obama administration to host the trials for terrorists suspected of planning the Sept. 11 attacks that killed thousands in lower Manhattan.
"They're having this pushed down their throats," the conservative lawmaker told The Washington Times' "American Morning News" radio show Monday.
He also said President Obama's decision to bring self-proclaimed September 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four accomplices to New York from the Guantanamo Bay detention center is another case of the president "doing a lot of things to look good" for the rest of the world.
"He's trying to show America is willing to submit and become a part of the rest of the world, rather than lead it," Mr. DeMint said.
Congressional Republicans — and some Democrats — warn that closing the detention facility in Cuba and bringing accused terrorists to U.S. soil for civil trials will result in such problems as exposing top-secret information in court, creating a terrorist target and allowing the defendants to use their trials as a platform for anti-American rhetoric.

New Yorkers don’t give a sh@@. The crazed sick Democrats in NY welcome the chance to further tear America down.
You’re quite right, Zer0 considers himself America.
Thanks for posting the GOE link.
Yes, he is. So are all the others that agree with him (I think an overwhelming majority).
Question is....what is anyone doing about this? Can anything be done. If so....what?
How do we stop this and then get rid of what is obviously the rediculous excuse now tenuously holding the office of Fed. Atty Gen.??????
Though I’m not one for signing online petitions the link at post#3 links to one that is a worthy one.
Although in Barry's Chicago the terrorist would be lost among the organized crime types and the community organizers (all same, same).
As someone brought up on another thread a day or two ago, why didn’t Holder and Obama bring them to Washington DC for the trial?
This is going to be very unpopular in NYC, and if anything goes wrong, (terror attack related to trial, trials become a circus, or God forbid an acquittal) 0bama could even lose New York State in 2012 over this.
has the line opened yet on when the defense is going to move for a change of venue to Dearborn, Michigan?
Went to the site and signed the petition. This link should be posted on the homepage of every conservative (and other) websites in American.
Truthfully, I do not believe it will do much good. Holden is a stooge and does what he's told, and obammer is far too arrogant and self-absorbed to care.
Moderator! Can you post the link from post #3 in this thread on your homepage???
Thanks!
Not Soviet but American show trials.
A thread was posted on Saturday asking for people with ping lists to ping them and a fair number were. Hopefully it will get a lot more exposure.
9/11 Trial in NYC?? (FDNY & Gathering of Eagles Petition Help Request)
Surprisingly, raving liberal Mike Lupica doesn’t want the trial in New York

So now we know why AF 1 overfled NY & up the Hudson...trolling for courthouses. Nah. Not AF 1. “I won.”
I salute Sen DeMint for taking on the Obama administration on this issue as well as Obamacare and Honduras. Next I’d like him to question Obama’s citizenship. After bows to the Saudi King and Emperor of Japan and now to jihadism, Obama is inviting our enemies to take us over. If China and Russia ganged up on us, who would come to our aid?
