Judge says US can hold detainees indefinitely

A Bush appointed judge ruled late Tuesday night that the United States
can hold detainees for an indefinite period.
The opinion issued by U.S. District Judge John Bates “limited the Obama
administration’s definition of who can be held,” Nedra Pickler reports
for the Associated Press. “But he said Congress in the days after Sept.
11, 2001 gave the president the authority to hold anyone involved in
planning, aiding or carrying out the terrorist attacks.”
“Bates’ opinion comes amid increasing debate over whether President
Barack Obama is going to release anyone from Guantanamo. Obama has
promised to close the prison by January, but Senate Democrats say they
will block the move until he comes up with a plan for the detainees,” the
AP notes.
The AP quotes ACLU attorney Jonathan Hafetz as saying that the opinion
“flouts the Constitution’s prohibition against indefinite detention
without charge.”
“The decision wrongly concludes that terrorism suspects at Guantanamo may
continue to languish in military detention rather than being prosecuted
in our civilian courts,” Hafetz said. “Like the president’s recent
decision to revive military commissions, this ruling perpetuates rather
than ends the failed experiment in lawlessness that is Guantanamo.”
Bates was tapped for the District Court seat by former President George
W. Bush a week before 9/11 in 2001. He was selected to join the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Court just the other day.

Yup, and Obama is going to hide behind that ruling to do what must be
done in the interest of National security. I'll give Obama credit
for being a fast learner. He's getting a number of things right
regarding these goddamn camel jockeys. It must drive you lefties
INSANE that Bush was so right about these matters. It must infuriate
you lefties to learn that Nancy Piglosi had a "24" moment. It must
really eat at you when you figure out that Gitmo isn't really going to
close after all. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I'm really enjoying the past
week. President Bush has been vindicated on a number of counts.

Don't any assumptions on my behalf. I think that judge is a fucking bone-
headed nazi, and this is an incredibly stupid ruling that goes against
everything America stands for.
I see you're still clinging to all your predigested talking points.
Honestly, don't you get tired of being treated as skeet by those
assholes? They send you out just to get shot down...

"Congress in the days after Sept.11, 2001 gave the president the
authority to hold anyone involved inplanning, aiding or carrying out
the terrorist attacks" It is the law. I thought that Gandalf Grey
believed in the rule of law. Or at least he did when he was an
American. You don't like the law, then call your congress critters.
Until then, get with the program.

You clearly are far to chicken to be an American. That's why you are
willing to let the government incarcerate people indefinitely; they scare
you because the government told you they were scary, and like a
frightened child, you throw away everything of value in your efforts to
flee the bogeyman.
