Lindsey Graham to bombing suspect (US citizen) - No Miranda Rights

[Aratus]

there should be a civilian jury trial

he isn't a nazi

Who? I assume you are referring to the bombing suspect, correct?

ETA: Ahh, with the post above this I see your point. Yeah, true. He should have a trial in a civilian court.

 

[Aratus]

yes... i said this after seeing a wiki link to the 1946 nuremberg trials

A *very *short period of non-Miranda questioning is valid (http://is.gd/c1zDJR ), but not an enlarged one (http://is.gd/YkDoeR )

Shep Smith tried getting an explanation. I didn't find it very satisfactory (and I doubt he did either).

It didn't click when I first read it. I think fr33's point was that some of the worst men in the 20th century got trials. I agree though, he should have his day in a civilian court. Nuremberg probably wasn't the best example but I got what he was saying.

I'd like to hear the honorable Judge Napolitano weigh in on that one.

genocidal warcrimes dominated the trial transcript in 1946

/facepalm. This is the kind of dumbassery that comes about when TPTB try to declare war on a tactic or an object (terror/drugs, etc). It's a "forever-war" because there's no tangible enemy to defeat.

Has Congress actually declared war?

LBJ got the tonkin gulf thingie out of his congress

Someone on CNN just said the FBI is making a huge mistake by saying the public is now safe but is using the public safety exemption to refuse to give the suspect his Miranda warnings. He said we should give him his Miranda warnings, let him lawyer up and not give him any excuse to say this his rights were violated.

It's hard to declare a war with a tactic or an inanimate object. 'Terrorism will most definitely sign a treaty once you kill enough of them'...

Their logical shortcomings are incredible. I really think they know the truth but have other interests to serve. (definitely not the American people's interest, that's for sure.)

I'm in twitmo and can't tweet back right now. But feel free to remind Lindsay that the police scanner had two entirely different people IDd last night and it could have been them brought in. Due process isn't for them, it is to make sure the guilty are taken, not the innocent.

Let me think on that. (hmmm, name change....)

 

[The Gold Standard]

They might well read him his Miranda rights. They don't apply where they are taking him anyway.

 

[Aratus]

when the kid returns to civilian time~space he just might hear his basic rights as a citizen?

Sure. Then he can daydream about them while federal goons hold his head underwater.

Dear Senator Lindsey Graham...

It's easier for a civilized man to act like a barbarian, than it is for a barbarian senator to act like a civilize man.
