Holder: "I Know Better"
— Ace

I missed/obscured the real story about KSM's trial in order to make a point.

The point I was trying to make was that It ain't easy. Despite what these simpletons thought. Only low-functioning assclowns could possibly believe leading a once-mighty nation is easy.

But in making that point, I didn't emphasize at all that this policy is against Eric Holder's choice, not per his choice.

And he wants you to know that too.

In stark language, Holder lambasted Congress for imposing restrictions blocking any detainees from being tried in the U.S., saying that the "unwise and unwarranted restrictions" undermine the U.S. in counter-intelligence and counter-terror efforts.

Expressing his disappointment in no uncertain terms, the attorney general said that as a native New Yorker, he knows as well as anyone the federal court's capacity to try the suspects. He added that he's intimately familiar with the cases, much moreso than congressional members -- or the public -- who opposed allowing the cases to be held in the United States.

"Do I know better than them? Yes. I respect their ability to disagree but they should respect that this is an executive branch function, a unique executive branch function," Holder said in a press conference.

Well Congress seems to have blocked it with the power of the purse so it seems to not be an entirely unique function, eh?

Too bad Holder won't be able to deliver civilian-trial victories like this one.

Yeah, let's try him in federal court.

What a little bitch. How many members of Congress have worked in the Executive Branch at one time or another?

WAAAAH!  Boo Freaking Hoo.  The only reason this was announced today was to coincide with Obama's re-election campaign.  (They still need to appeal to the far left kook base). 

Rush made an interesting point today.   With Holder arguing that the best venue for a fair trial was in a courtroom in the U.S.A., it sets up ground for appeal.  Douchebag.  It really pisses me off that our stupid asshat Republicans let this lying P.O.S. sail right through the confirmation process.

27 Totally OT. I watch Beck and at about half past the hour of his show, he has commercials with holocaust survivors living in abject poverty in the former Soviet bloc. I always thought Israel would take care of them. I guess I'm wrong. Do they?

28 well that's interesting.  On a local news teaser the announcer asked "if the crime was committed in New York, why shouldn't the trial be in New York?"  and I thought, "that's odd as the whole city was uniformly against having the trial here so why was the announcer suddenly making it seem as though we weren't?"

33 Off Topic I know that local news show polls are of limited value, but the ABC affiliate in west Michigan, which includes the Grand Rapids area, did a call in poll on whether Obama would easily win reelection. 77% said no, 23 % said yes. Of course, the people who are pissed off at him are more likely to phone in.

34 Bush should have had everyone of those people at GITMO shot before he left office. He knew what was coming.

I don't think he did.  I think that, like so many others, GWB thought that a few days to a few weeks in office would be enough to make Obama see the real world, and behave accordingly.  He was wrong.

I would be willing to bet that his main regret from his years in office was that he wasn't more active in the 2008 campaign (even if only behind the scenes) to help get another Republican elected.

The feds have been claiming that they have the right to indefinitely hold these (importantly) foreign fighter-jihadi scumbags as illegal combatants per the various international conventions on prisoners of war, or prisoners of war who've committed various violations of the rules of war.  Which they do and the jihadis have, IMO.  BUT, some of them suddenly get magically transported to civilian court for trial.

When the Soviets did that we called them show trials. 

Fighting a politico-religious enemy who fights asymmetrically using Seventh Century and extremely high tech techniques all blended together with theology and ancient concepts of law is confusing.  They've declared war on us using fatwas.  Do those count? 

By now though everyone should get the fact that, to them at least, it's a war.   So turning a Pakistani loose because his Miranda rights were violated in the Hindu Kush during a sniper attack is not going to work unless your idea of work involves a substantial body count.

Just checked out a link that convinced me I had to be on drugs (No, I'm not) or at the Mad Hatters' Tea Party. The director of the ACLU was quoted as being disappointed because NOW the trials will be inefficient and subject to all sorts of procedural delays, technicalities, etc. I would try to provide the link but truly, it isn't worth the time for the drivel involved.

Do these guys spend any time in the real world?

Anyway, I think Obama really thought it WOULD be easy. All his life he has been told that he is great by many, to the point where he was essentially deified in the last election. When he was an organizer and a Senator, he was protected by the liberal media from any consequences to his words and promises, and told he was a "Rock Star" after one convention speech.

What has ever happened in his life that would make him feel that the Presidency wouldn't simply be one more summit he would march up and conquer in double time, just as readily as he had done with his other tasks? He's always been one of the anointed, a "prince", a king in waiting. Hubris brings down the mightiest. He probably honestly feels betrayed, and so, probably, do many of his followers.

75 Setting aside my seething disgust for the man (a disgust that is second only to that which I reserve for his boss), I can see Holder's point about this being an executive function, that he would, logically, have more direct information on this subject than congress, and could, if I were a more charitable person than I ever care to be, could appreciate his frustration while remaining in disagreement with his position. Where he goes completely off the rails is with the "I know better" shit. Let's pretend for a moment that he does actually "know better". So? The role of government is to represent the will of the people. Last time I checked, the American people, in a resounding voice, did not want terrorists tried in e U.S. Democrats in general and this entire administration in particular, think that they "know better" and this somehow allows them to act against our will. This is the core, fundamental problem we have with government (including the majority of republicans). Holder's more recent foot-in-mouth is just another symptom of a much larger cancer.

Ha! Ha!  True dat!  I don't know if my liver can take 2 more years of Teh Won, let alone 6 more.  Even mr. rn who never was a drinker is imbibing these days.  I find myself thinking about adult beverages at breakfast these days.

I had all but given up drinking years ago, except for one every so often at a party.   I got damn near falling down drunk on election night '08.   Since then, my home is always stocked.   It's the only way I can tolerate knowing those fuckers are in the WH.

84 @65 You're a far better person and more charitable than I will ever be. I agree with where your going, but in my mind Obama is nothing more than a glaring example of everything that has ever been wrong with Affirmative Action, including willful and unfounded narcissism.

86 AllenG, it was 2008 when everybody slobbered over Barry the genius because he went to Harvard law. I went to high school with a Harvard law grad and I am not impressed. I would take a lobotomized math major before the most brilliant graduate from Harvard law. Then I realized that the whole culture of law school and the legal profession is emblematic of every problem in our public life today.

Holder's first name should be Richard.

Well, I got it.  Reminds me of a certain transit worker my fellow commuters and I were particularly un-impressed with.  We knicknamed him "Richard Cranium".

Last time I checked, the American people, in a resounding voice, did not want terrorists tried in e U.S.

 

Sigh!  That's the problem you get when you have Fox News and the right wing bias of the media lying about these wonderful, innocent men being illegally held at Gitmo.  Shepherds, goatherders, nomadic tribesmen who stumbled into the wrong place at the wrong time are now being punished for crimes they didn't even commit.  Our arrogance in trying to extract some kind of revenge on these poor gentle souls is exactly why the world hates us.  I had hoped that this would change under President Obama, but unfortunately, the media won't report the truth.

Why can't Soros or GE fund Planned Parenthood? Why should tax payers who disagree with abortion, be forced to fund it?  Oh yeah - that's "fairness" in the eyes of a democrat.

91 Holder is on one of two trains.

1. He really doesn't understand how civilian courts function, the limits of their power; That they have no way to sidestep rules of evidence, or any of the other police limiting rules accorded as rights in the Constitution, and as such are ill equipped to handle international terrorists, whom are first captured and detained internationally as irregular combatants and war criminals, or, as enemies of humanity.
2. He really just wants KSM and others to be acquitted to "prove" how wrong the US was in capturing and detaining them.

93 Holder is SO full of crap. This move was inevitable from the moment that jury came back findings one of the African embassy bombers almost completely innocent. THAT scared the HELL out of Bambi and his adult handlers.

Not so sure about that more charitable stuff. My post was just a statement of how THEY probably feel. I have less than zero sympathy for what befalls them as a result of stuff going wrong with their crazy policies and fiats.

97 It comes to me that this whole Gitmo shit started when those shitbags were allowed to morph into POWS. They obviously aren't, WE all know this--something else you can thank the left for, I guess.

 Nothing was preventing us from shooting them ON the battlefield, there was sufficient justification for it. IMHO, the best solution, barring outright execution, is military tribunals.

 Fucking good thing a loose cannon like me isn't in charge, this would never have arisen.

For those who might have forgotten in the total shitstorm of lies and disinformation that is the prime characteristic of the Obama Regime.

Of course Holder knows better. He's playing both sides in this game.

102 Glad to know I am not the only one that is drinking more and enjoying it less because of the incompetent Amerikkka hating lawyers that abound in this administration.
Eric (and Barry) need to remember that everything is indeed easier when you are king and answer to no one.  Unfortunately, the whole pesky Constitution thingy was an attempt to ensure that we didn't have a king over here since George III didn't work too well for us.  Barack I isn't working out too well for us either, but hopefully he will abdicate and allow an election to select his successor.

104 isn't it just a dig at the military justice system and saying they are just not good enough because they are in the military and of course are biased.  ya that federal court system worked oh so well when they did try that other case.  nothing like tanking it...............

108 It seems the obvious must be pointed out: Congress only has the power of the purse in conjunction with the President (unless there is a veto). Obama approved the restrictions leading to this result.

109 Why stir-up this whole mess in the first place just to go back to the way Bush had it set up to began with?  It shows Obuma has no idea what the hell he is doing.  Not easy being President, I guess.
