Obama Attorney General Eric Holder Blames Politics has Delayed KSM (Khalid Sheikh Mohammed) Trial

The Barack Obama Administration Blame Game Continues  … When will this Administration take ownership and stop the blaming others for their screw ups? Obama has certainly shown the American people that the  “Buck Stops” no where with him.  This is getting real old … Obama plays politics with an issues against the will of the people and then blames Republicans, yawn!

In an interview this weekend on CBS’s Face the Nation, Obama AG Eric Holder told CBS News chief Washington correspondent Bob Schieffer that it was politics that delayed bringing self-proclaimed September 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to trial. Who is playing politics with the KSM trial, YOU? The reason why KSM has not faced justice is squarely on the shoulders of Holder and Obama.

I BLAME YOU!

In an exclusive interview with CBS News chief Washington correspondent Bob Schieffer on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Attorney General Eric Holder said that political posturing has delayed some of the administration’s top priorities — bringing self-proclaimed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to trial and closing the prison and Guantanamo Bay.

Holder said the administration will make a decision as to where [the KSM] trial will occur “as soon as we can.”

“But we are bound and determined to hold Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and those who worked with him… responsible for happened on September 11,” he told Schieffer during the interview, which took place at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Aspen, Colo.

Holder wants to try Mohammed in civilian court, but some others say the trial should take place in the military tribunal system. The Obama administration is still in the process of determining what course of action to take, but Holder expressed frustration over the debate.

Barack Obama was for military tribunals before he was against it. Remember when Senator Obama in 2006 was singing a much different tune?

Another Obama Loss: Judge Blocks Obama Moratorium on Deep Water Drilling

President Barack Hussein Obama loses another one as his policies and agenda are rebuked by the Courts.

U.S. District Judge Martin L.C. Feldman in New Orleans issued an injunction blocking the six month moratorium that President Obama imposed on deep water drilling following the BP oil spill.  This is not necessarily a victory for oil companies, but one more for the thousands of oil company workers, the economy and a victory against Obama’s “Cap & Trade” agenda and knee jerk reaction to the BP oil spill.

U.S. District Judge Martin L.C. Feldman said in issuing his injunction that the Interior Department had failed to show that the oil spill triggered by the Deepwater Horizon rig blowout in April meant that there was imminent danger on all deep-water drilling rigs in the gulf. By contrast, he said, the “blanket, generic, indeed punitive, moratorium” has clearly harmed the industry and region.

“An invalid agency decision to suspend drilling of wells in depths of over 500 feet simply cannot justify the immeasurable effect on the plaintiffs, the local economy, the Gulf region and the critical present-day aspect of the availability of domestic energy in this country,”Feldman wrote in a case brought by Hornbeck Offshore Services and three other offshore oil service firms.

What is most amazing as seen at Town Hall,  in the judges ruling is he did not only throw out Obama’s moratorium, but he also accused the administration of misleading the public. Did you catch that America … Obama Administration was misleading, you mean they lied.

Unreal!!! Federal Judge Jack B. Weinstein Defending Child Sex Predators, Says Child Porn Laws to Harsh … “We’re destroying lives unnecessarily”

“We’re destroying lives unnecessarily” … Yes we are and it is because judges like Jack B. Weinstein are allowed to serve on the bench. How will we ever protect children, the most defenseless among us with the likes of this as federal judges?

Say hello to LEFTIST Jack B. Weinstein, a 43 year federal judge …

The NY Times states, the judge  has come to be identified by his efforts to combat what he calls “the unnecessary cruelty of the law.” What is his crusade this time … Child Porn laws. However, it’s not what you think … this judge things that the child porn laws are too strict and defends the child pornographers.

Judge Weinstein, who sits in the United States District Court in Brooklyn, has twice thrown out convictions that would have ensured that the man spend at least five years behind bars. He has pledged to break protocol and inform the next jury about the mandatory prison sentence that the charges carry. And he recently declared that the man, who is awaiting a new trial, did not need an electronic ankle bracelet because he posed “no risk to society.”

There is little public sympathy for collectors of child pornography. Yet across the country, an increasing number of federal judges have come to their defense, criticizing changes to sentencing laws that have effectively quadrupled their average prison term over the last decade.

That is correct, this judge stated that an electronic ankle bracelet was excessive for a sexual predator and child pornographer as he stated that this perv posed no threat to society. UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Eastern District of New York Judge Jack B. Weinstein has held unconstitutional the electronic monitoring of a Brooklyn pizzeria owner awaiting retrial on child pornography charges.

The judge found that the monitoring, mandated by the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006, constitutes unconstitutionally excessive bail and violates defendant Peter Polouizzi’s procedural due process rights.

Judge Jack B. Weinstein stated “We’re destroying lives unnecessarily.” However, he was not referring to the victims of child porn … he was referring to the child pornographers! I would agree with the Astute Blogger 100%, “I THINK THAT THESE LEFTISTS ARE EVERY BIT AS BAD AND DANGEROUS AS CHILD PORNOGRAPHERS.”

Just what we need to be soft on kiddie porn.  What will the LEFT think of next to defend … child rapists? Guess where child rapists come from liberal judges … that would be the very kiddie porn criminals that you look to let off scott free.

Judge Weinstein has gone to extraordinary lengths to challenge the strict punishments, issuing a series of rulings that directly attack the mandatory five-year prison sentence faced by defendants charged with receiving child pornography.

“I don’t approve of child pornography, obviously,” he said in an interview this week. But, he also said, he does not believe that those who view the images, as opposed to producing or selling them, present a threat to children.

“We’re destroying lives unnecessarily,” he said. “At the most, they should be receiving treatment and supervision.”

Treatment and supervision … how LEFTIST, liberal can we get? Maybe we need to figure out why his parents did not get him a pony for his 6th birthday while we are at it. You know you have a problem with a judge when a child porn collector sees the man as not a judge, but a dad.

The man he has spent three years trying to save from a long incarceration is Pietro Polizzi, a married father of five who collected more than 5,000 graphic pictures of children. If prosecuted in a New York State court, he would have faced a maximum prison sentence of four years. Instead, in federal court, he faced a minimum of five years and a recommended sentence of 11 to 14 years. Because of Judge Weinstein’s intervention, he remains free as he awaits another trial.

“I don’t see Judge Weinstein as a judge,” Mr. Polizzi said during an interview as tears rolled down his face. “I see him as my father. He helps people. He doesn’t destroy lives the way the prosecutor has. He’s the one who is going to set me free from the court.”

It’s too bad that these liberal judges did not feel the need to protect the victims of child porn. News flash Judge Jack B. Weinstein … the pic is of an exploited child and the individual with that pic is a time bomb waiting to go off.

So judge, when this perv escalates his child porn pic collection to the real thing … what will you say then!!!

Barack Obama to Announce Elena Kagan as SCOTUS Nominee … Elections Have Serious Consequnces

NBC News is reporting that President Barack Obama will choose  solicitor general Elena Kagan and former Harvard Law School Dean as the next Supreme Court Justice nominee to replace the retiring Justice John Paul Stevens.

President Barack Obama will nominate Solicitor General Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court, positioning the court to have three female justices for the first time, NBC News reported late Sunday.

Kagan served as the Dean of Harvard Law School from 2003 to 2009. She was widely viewed as a front-runner when Obama was considering candidates for a Supreme Court opening last year, but the president ultimately chose Sonia Sotomayor for the job.

My what a difference a year makes. As the MSM and WH champion Kagan as a moderate, just one year ago when Kagan was on the short list for the SCOTUS that ultimately went to Sonia Sotomayor, Michelle Malkin described her as follows:

… Dean Kagan has taken positions that are disturbingly out of the mainstream. For example, driven by her view that the “don’t ask; don’t tell” policy adopted by a Democrat Congress and President Clinton is “a profound wrong–a moral injustice of the first order,” she argued that it violates the First Amendment for the United States to withhold funds from colleges that ban the military from recruiting on campus. The Supreme Court unanimously rejected this view …

Check out the C-SPAN videos linked to by Tammy Bruce.

WOW, seems to be several references as to whether Kagan is a Gay/Lesbian … “not that there is any thing wrong with that”.

Go the the SCOTUS blog for much more back ground

The 50 year old Kagan, if confirmed which by all accounts seems to be a yes based on past confirmations, will be serving in the SCOTUS for decades to come. Yes America, elections do have consequences as the most liberal President in the history of the United States is about to  nominate a second justice to the  SCOTUS and a third can’t be too far away.

Yes Virginia, There is a Santa Claus … Navy SEAL Matthew McCabe Found NOT GUILTY of Assaulting Iraqi Terrorist Ahmed Hashim Abed

Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus …

Chalk one up for the good guys as 24 year old Navy SEAL, Matthew McCabe, was found not guilty of three charges including the assault of an Iraqi terrorist by a military jury in Virginia

HERO: Matthew McCabe, a Special Operations Petty Officer Second Class

Matthew McCabe, a Special Operations Petty Officer Second Class, was facing three charges: dereliction of performance of duty for willfully failing to safeguard a detainee, making a false official statement, and assault.

The suspected terrorist McCabe was accused of punching is Ahmed Hashim Abed, who is the suspected masterminded the grisly killings of four American contractors in Iraq six years ago.

“I’m really happy right now,” McCabe told Fox News. “It’s an amazing feeling. I’m on cloud nine right now.”

As the Jawa Report states, “excellent news.” It is a shame that McCabe and other SEALS were ever charged in the first place. Because we all know that Iraqi, radical- Islamic, Muslim terrorists are known for their truth and honor. It is amazing that a Navy SEAL is put through the rigors and demands in Iraq and all this was caused by a terrorist coward making an accusation. This is hardly the manner that the USA should be treating it’s heroes.

Navy SEAL acquitted of assaulting Iraqi detainee.

A military jury has acquitted a Navy SEAL of charges he punched an Iraqi detainee.

Petty Officer 2nd Class Matthew McCabe, 24, was charged with assaulting Iraqi detainee Ahmed Hashim Abed, who was arrested in September in Iraq for allegedly orchestrating the 2004 murders of four U.S. contractors in Falluja.
