9/11 suspects will be tried in NYC

i think the every day court system is ill-equipped to handle a case like this. for one thing, the president just peed in the jury pool.

 

you've yet to demonstrate you have any particular expertise.

 

actually, my question is the opposite: would Boumedine prevent him being tried in Gitmo, or elsewhere, under the Military Tribunal system?

 

Do you understand how jury pools work?

 

If you think he can act like a semblance of a human being on gay rights you haven't been reading his posts. basso believes that a President who supports a constitutional amendment to permanently ban gay marriage is the same as a President who opposes such a measure.

 

I'll take heed when you unveil the vaunted "based in Yemen" defense.

 

please don't wait:

would Boumedine prevent KSM being tried in a Military Tribunal?

 

Fair enough.

But in that case then do you think KSM can be tried in Fed. Court in NYC?

 

he can be tried here, but he shouldn't be, for all the reasons i've detailed elsewhere in this thread.

 

I gave you my answer above. I do enjoy your tears though, so please continue to act like a very dim witted child and repost this question again. Maybe one of these days it will take. And if not, hey the crying baby version of basso is preferable to you starting more stupid threads.

 

I think that was a knee-jerk reaction on his part. I've read many posts in the past that were very supportive of the gay community. Just don't ask me to search!

 

you answer was "i know more than you."

prove it.

 

You don't need to go to law school to know that the process hasn't been approved by the courts in the way that you claim.

 

Sam, have the courts done anything that would prevent KSM being tried in a Military Tribunal?

 

Thank you - this is the kind of capitulation i was hoping for.

Basso goes from:

Statement A - which is wrong: "The courts have approved of the military tribunals"

to Statement B - also wrong: "have the courts done anything that would prevent it yet"

No further explanation needed.

And also, statement B is wrong. I guess reasonable minds can differ, if one of them is of a stupid person - but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the Military Commission Act being declared an unconstitutional violation of habeas corpus being a bit of damper in an attempt to implement the MCA. Of course, since the MCA hasn't really been fully implemented and tested yet, it's obviously still up in the air.

Now it's my turn to ask a question again - why did you lie about this for 24 hours? Stupidity or trollery?

 

Why?

How so? Prosecutors and politicians all the time say the same thing about criminal suspects. Authorities declaring a defendant will be found guilty and get the maximum punishment is not exactly rare or unique.

 

silly boy. if that's the case, why are the Cole bombers being tried under the MCA?

 

Really? So if they filed a habeas petition it would be rejected as unavailable in an MCA proceeding? In direct contravention of the US SCt's ruling?

 

Sam- are Military Tribunals unconstitutional?

 

In that case do you agree with the principle (leave aside practical considerations for a moment) of trying KSM for a crime that was committed on US soil in US Fed. court?
