Let the Circus Begin

What should happen to the jurors if KSM is acquitted?

 

That is correct and was necessary because of the following: On June 29, 2006, the Supreme Court ruled 5-3 in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld that the federal government did not have the right to set up special military commissions in Guantanamo Bay.

The 2006 law was passed in response to the Court ruling and all but one provision was upheld by the Court. That being said one must wonder why the worst of the terrorists are being tried in a civil court while lesser ones will face Military Tribunals. Looks suspiciously like the Obama Holder Justice Dept. is not interested in Justice but is anti Bush, anti America propaganda. It is also a fact that over a dozen lawyers from Holders firm are apparently voluntarily defending terrorists.

 

If there is a trial, and they acquit based on evidence, then nothing.

If they did something such as take a bribe, etc., then a trial for treason would be in order.

But the judge and the President bear more responsibility here, especially the President, by making such a clearly wrong-headed move. (the judge's responsibility will kick in when the "trial" begins.)

I agree with OR on this one: Obama is more concerned with making a political statement than he is carrying out justice according to our rule of law. Otherwise, there would have been military tribunals...and this lowlife would be feeding the worms.

If KSM gets off, I doubt Obama would make it another year, before being forced to resign.
