Eric Holder to 9-11 family member: Trust me

Holder has yet to articulate any reason whatsoever why trying the 9/11 terrorists in New York is better than trying them by military commission at Gitmo. In separate interviews with Rudy Giuliani and Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.) we can hear the nearly limitless potential pitfalls of New York trials and none for Gitmo.

After his Senate testimony today, Holder was confronted by a woman who lost a son Flight 93. She accused him of giving the military commissions short shrift and enabling a media circus in which KSM will be allowed to rant and put the country on trial. Once again, he failed to address the issue. He tells her he did not give them short shrift and that the defendants ranted in the commissions too. Funny, I don't recall breathless liberal news organizations gleefully giving endless blow-by-blow of those antics. Maybe that is because the military doesn't allow circuses to take place during trials.

In any event, the real money quote is at the very end of the clip; a statement that apparently passes for substantive policy argument in the Obama administration.

Trust me.

And even if he gets across-the-board convictions, why should we trust him when the process itself will cause damage to the country both psychologically and financially.

KSM and the boys wanted to plead guilty and get the death penalty. If Holder really wants to get this wrapped up quickly, just take their pleas and start handing out the blindfolds and cigarettes.

They can send me the bill for the bullets.

I wish I could say, "unbelievable," but unfortunately for the good ol' USA it is all too believable for this administration & its minions.

Do they take volunteers for the firing squads? I'd even bring my own gun.


Bill Dupray on 2009-11-18 23:56:44

I think there would be a long line for that. And Holder would be there to collect our guns.

You're raining on my parade, Bill. A girl can dream, can't she?

I lost two college friends in the North Tower and I'm absolutely livid over this decision. I don't trust the POS Holder as far as I can throw him. Trust doesn't come naturally to me when I have a husband in the military whose existence is put in peril by the bastards he's coddling.

This whole show trial will bring unnecessary anguish and anger to those who lost people on 9/11. This is either the most thoughtless PC stunt this administration can come up with or they're trying to convince their many fans in Europe that while we can't get that Global Warming doomsday bill passed we can, indeed, cuddle terrorists and make their troubled hearts all better.

    Direct hit: "It is naive for any elected official, especially one who describes himself as 'pro-life,' to expect that a promise to issue an Executive Order that reasserts the intentions of the Hyde Amendment will be fulfilled by the most pro-abortion president to ever sit in the White House. Perhaps Mr. Stupak and his fellow pro-life Democrats forget that President Obama's first Executive Order was the repeal of the Mexico City Policy to allow for international funding of abortion." "Not only would an Executive Order be rendered meaningless in the face of Congress passing legislation which actively provides for the massive expansion and funding of abortion services, but anyone who doubts the abortion tsunami which awaits this bill becoming law lives in a fantasy world."

  • One last trick up Boehner's sleeve?

    Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) said House leaders are specifically concerned about a Republican motion to recommit that would contain only language on abortion that Stupak originally had wanted to include in the Senate bill. The concern is based on the fear of GOP attack ads painting Democrats who vote against a motion to recommit that includes Stupak’s favored language on abortion as “flip-floppers” on the issue…

    Members of the pro-choice caucus are livid after the White House released the Executive Order on abortion to the media without showing it to them. According to members who spoke on the condition of anonymity, at the end of the Stupak press conference today they were still waiting to see the language of the Executive Order. The first they saw of it was after the White House released it with a statement to the media.

    Great Analysis. Begins here: Would a straightforward, unbiased analysis of the presidential actions of Barack Obama through March 2010, lead to a demand for his immediate impeachment and removal from office? Yes, for a most transparent reason: Obama is purposely undermining the US Constitution. In doing so, his actions make unstable every institution and office below the presidency, since the Constitution is the foundation of every government power and official decision. In fomenting institutional unrest across the US, he threatens the safety of every American man, woman and child, and all our citizens abroad.

    Do we really need to state the obvious? Laws are made and changed in the Legislative Branch, not the Executive. Only in dictatorships are laws made by the Executive Branch.
    According to these rulings, such health legislation creates a statutory requirement for abortion funding, unless Congress clearly forbids such funding. That is why the Hyde amendment was needed in 1976, to stop Medicaid from funding 300,000 abortions a year. The statutory mandate construed by the courts would override any executive order or regulation. This is the unanimous view of our legal advisors and of the experts we have consulted on abortion jurisprudence. Only a change in the law enacted by Congress, not an executive order, can begin to address this very serious problem in the legislation."

  • Breaking: Hoyer - We don't have the votes yet

    House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) predicted Sunday that Democrats will have the votes to pass the massive health care bill later in the day, but he suggested a number of crucial Members were still undecided. “There are still Members looking at it and trying to make up their minds, but we think there are going to be 216-plus votes when we call the roll,” Hoyer said on NBC’s "Meet the Press.” He added, "We’re going to pass this bill.” Hoyer said the remaining votes the Democrats need are “in the low single digits, certainly.”

    So the Dems now want to decide who lives and who dies so badly, they have rigged the rules to require 67 votes to kill the death panels. Keep in mind this is the same number of votes needed to pass a Constitutional Amendment.
    [Democrats] have inserted . . . a provision that it would take a supermajority of 67 votes in the Senate for future legislative bodies to even consider amendments to its provisions for "death panels." . . . The bill states, "It shall not be in order in the Senate or the House of Representatives to consider any bill, resolution, amendment, or conference report that would repeal or otherwise change this subsection." That subsection addresses rules and regulations that doctors would be ordered to follow by the "Independent Medicare Advisory Boards a/k/a the Death Panels," RedState reported.
