Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus during the Civil War and he didn't even have Cuba to deposit people he didn't like.

You do realize that he did this validly under Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution right?

"The author, "Dan Perkins" is actually doing extremely well, probably much better than you."

Probably??

heh

Well President Lincoln HAD to do something.... the Civil War was raging.

Constritution wrote:A writ of habeas corpus is a legal action against unlawful detainment that commands a law enforcement agency or other body that has a person in custody to have a court inquire into the legality of the detention. The court may order the person released if the reason for detention is deemed insufficient or unjustifiable. The Constitution further provides that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus may not be suspended "unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it". In Ex parte Milligan (1866), the Supreme Court decided that the suspension of habeas corpus was lawful, but military tribunals did not apply to citizens in states that had upheld the authority of the Constitution and where civilian courts were still operating.

President Obama and President Bush can't do what Lincoln did because there is no rebelion in these United States. So our fearless leaders are FORCED (Constitutionally) to keep these motherfuckers in Gitmo where they have NO Constitutional protections.

Geography is saving us. The United States government has NO Jurisdiction in Cuba, none what-so-ever. Unlike Guam and Puerto Rico, Cuba is not a possession/territory of the United States of America. We have them there SPECIFCALLY because of the Constitution. Bring them here, and (well) they get a trial.

I don't want them getting a trial. Afghanistan and Iraq have already told us that no matter what, they don't want these people to come back to them. We are stuck with them.

You do realize we have a military base in Cuba right?

yeah, it's currently serving as a prison for people that have not been charged or given a trial in 11 years or more.

Excellent

Give those fuckers a military trial. If we can convict them, them convict them and lock 'em up and throw away the key. If we can't then set them free. Those guys have served longer terms than a lot of the Nazi's that slaughtered people in concentrations camps. We are America dammit. If we are not going to even come close to abiding by our own rules then we are no better then them.

btw, a woman's DNA on the pressure cooker lid? isn't that like saying they found a man's DNA on a pipe wrench?

not to mention - wasn't there like 20 women with various injuries around this thing? you got body parts laying in the street. Yea, there is going to be some DNA laying around.

second point

this is this dude's wife - what on earth posessed her to marry a no job having muslim boxer?

The same mindset that let a prisoner impregnate four guards including one twice. Some women love losers.

I'd like for her to give me a hijab

Well played.

The wife is from Rhode Island, if I remember correctly. Marrying that dude was marrying up.
