Terrorist Sympathizers Dealt Blow On Gitmo

J.J. Jackson* | September 23, 2007

Republicans are showing their nuts finally.

A Republican filibuster in the Senate today shot down a bipartisan effort to restore the right of terrorism suspects to contest their detentions and treatment in federal courts, underscoring the Democratic-led Congress’s difficulty with terrorism issues.The 56-43 vote fell short of the 60 needed to cut off debate and move to a final vote on the amendment to the Senate’s annual defense policy bill. But the measure did garner the support of six Republicans, a small victory for its supporters.

If left to their own devices, the liberals and moderates (who are just liberals that can’t admit to themselves they are liberals) would tie up our courts with cases filed by enemies captured on the battlefield taking pot shots at our soldiers.

Way to “support the troops”!
