And
so it goes. Last week we had the Supremes deciding foreigners involved in attacking US troops had Constitutional rights. Let's all hold hands and sing, "We Are The World."
The courts are now deciding who should and shouldn't be labeled an 'enemy combatant.'
Why should we bother with all this election nonsense? The Judicial can just decide what's best without the help of those other pesky branches of government. Might as well refer to the Executive and Legislative as 'twigs' rather than 'branches.'
Knowing what we do about how the good folks in China treat ethnic Uygurs, especially those who are proven to have ties to terrorist groups, let me suggest that we just send Hazaifa Parhat back to China. I'm sure he will appreciate the kindnesses shown him as a guest of the state there compared to the treatment he has suffered under U.S. hands.
As Admiral Painter says in
The Hunt for Red October, "This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it."
