The top Republican in the House is vowing to prevent any trial of terror detainees at Guantanamo Bay from being held in New York City as leading Senate Republicans question Attorney General Eric Holder on the civilian status given to the Christmas Day bombing suspect.

The top Republican in the House is vowing to prevent any trial of terror detainees at Guantanamo Bay from being held in New York City as leading Senate Republicans question Attorney General Eric Holder on the civilian status given to the Christmas Day bombing suspect.

House Minority Leader John Boehner said Wednesday the Obama administration doesn't have the votes to change the law to move detainees to U.S. territory for trial or to spend $500 million to refurbish the Thompson prison in Illinois to host the detainees who would be held there while awaiting trial in New York City.

"There is not going to be a trial in New York, I guarantee it. There is no appetite for the trials in Congress," Boehner, R-Ohio, said.

[ShockediSay]

12. corporate funded Fascist phony propaganda mouthpiece nt

[DBoon]

14. and like any true fascist, he prefers that enemies of the state "disappear"

rather than go through an old fashioned trial

[MidwestTransplant]

2. Hey Bonner. What about deferring to the CINC in a time of war??

[TheCowsCameHome]

3. ...so sayeth the voice within the big toaster oven...

[zbdent]

7. needs more UV rays ...

[muriel_volestrangler]

4. Who, apart from those idiot Republicans, thinks a change in law is needed?

Fox News just reports this as if that's a generally acknowledged fact. Is there anyone with actual competence who thinks this?

[Deep13]

8. Only if we think trying to blow up an airplane is not a crime. nt

[blueworld]

5. Can't he just issue an Exec Order or signing statement like Chimpy used to? n/t

[Deep13]

6. That's a matter for the courts. EDIT

STFU, Boehner.

The people of NYC had a right to judge this case.

[The Wizard]

9. John Boner

Republican from Oompah Loompah is suffering from fried brain cells.
The Republicans act like they're in charge because the Democrats refuse to take charge.

[ArnoldLayne]

11. Old Orange Boner Nose speaks again

[old guy]

13. The arrogance of this creep is astounding!

[euphoria12leo]

19. Arrogance

mixed with being stupid drunk. He thinks he wields power when he's nothing more than an ass.
This happens when you burn your brain cells.


:grr:

[The Stranger]

15. Someone tell Boner Nazi that there have been terrorist trials in New York for over a decade.

[CanonRay]

16. Excuse me, but what the f does he have to say about it?

Did somebody make him the Attorney General while I was asleep last night?

[ChickMagic]

17. Hey, Boner

You ain't in charge of this, asshat. Go bloviate where someone gives a shit.

[CLANG]

18. Boehner the Boehnhead

[butterfly77]

20. What in the hell are they afraid of..

these are the same motherfuckers who broadcast to the world how bad we are and they are the same ones who love to create more and more terrorists. What did Bush say: Bring it on!

[Aviation Pro]

21. So the fuckwit Republicant party wins one fucking flukey election...

...and they think they can mandate and demand what they want.

News to the motherfuckers:

GO FUCK YOURSELVES.

Time for the detonation of the nuclear option on these balls of fuckwads.

[NICO9000]

22. WTF are they so afraid of?

Is NYC going to crumble under the weight of these trials in full sight of the public?

[Hulk]

23. What a clown!

You tell 'em boner.

[elmerdem]

24. Dems have to

be better at framing this issue. Repubs are the blame America first crowd, they would outsource our security, they don't believe in the American system of justice. Are they afraid of terrorists? Republicans are weak on terror!

[santamargarita]

25. Typical dumb ass Republican that thinks he knows something

:puke:

[husky92]

26. ASS Hole

I'm tired of this ASS hole. I wish there was some way he could be put in his place, but little chance of that. He probably represents a heavily-Republican district in Ohio and they probably eat up everything he says. No chance of anyone beating him, but boy it sure would be nice. Every time I see his mug and fake tan on TV I feel like throwing something through my TV. As many others have said, who the hell does he think he is. He's not in charge. I wish some of these wimpy Democrats would stand up to these ass holes like Boehner, McConnell, Cantor, DeMint, and all the other right-wing nut jobs. Have some balls and call their bluff. I'm afraid it's more of the same from the Democrats.

[Lucky Luciano]

27. I don't have a strong opinion on this as I have not done my homework, but

I did see mayor Bloomberg complain hat security would cost $1B in NYC - wow. If that is so, then another location in the US would be better. Another reason to move it out of NYC is because that is not exactly a city (where I live) n which they could get a fair trial. Didn't mcveigh get tried outside of OKC?

[JuniperLea]

28. It doesn't surprise me that they are against a fair and honest trial...

It just doesn't.

[Lucky Luciano]

31. The thing I am not sure of is alluded to in my post just above yours...

Can they get the fairest trial possible in NYC where 911 occurred? That could be a good reason to move it outside of NYC - though conducting the trial somewhere in the US with US laws (not military laws) is clearly the right thing to do.

[JuniperLea]

32. We all felt the impact of those planes...

If they can't get a fair trial there, they can't get one anywhere, imho.

I had friends as far away as Australia and Norway and England tell me how hurt they were by the attacks... you don't get over that, ever. You may forget for a while, but a trial will bring it back for all of us, all over the world.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

29. I understand staffers on the hill call him Congressman Guido (R-OH)

[Jefferson23]

30. Don't cave to this asshole Obama.

[Tippy]

33. How about moving the trial to Ohio...preferably the 16 Congressional Dist.

[Vinca]

34. Hold the damn trial at the tanning salon.

[panzerfaust]

35. Should be held in Kansas

Where, as long as you kill for God, you might be pretty much OK ... http://www.democraticunderground.com//discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x4247562
