Senator Graham Censured by Army Court
September 21, 2006 6:32 PM

Ellen Davis Reports:

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has been censured by an Army court on the same day he agreed to a deal with the White House outlining new provisions for military justice in cases involving suspected terrorists.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces yesterday held that Sen. Graham violated the Incompatibility Clause of the Constitution when, as a Reservist, he sat on the Air Force's intermediate appellate court while also a member of the Senate.

The MILITARY steps up. Holy crap. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces...
Shouldn't this be a BIG deal?

1. i don't really understand what this means

[fooj]

2. Sounds like it could be serious.

Apparently, double-dipping is a big NO-NO!

It is unclear if the government will seek to appeal. If it doesn't, Graham would have to give up his certification as an appellate military judge.

Looks like they have one of their "insurgents" over a barrel...

used to be a big no no, but then the gov repealed the original 13th amendment.

Can't talk about the military tactics of torture to the media. by the way why hasn't Graham ever been called up to serve in Iraq?
