Hello righty's (wrongy's):
Here is what the judge said when he sentenced a terrorist yesterday:
"... our system works. We did not need to use a secret military tribunal, or detain the defendant indefinitely as an enemy combatant, or deny him the right to counsel, or invoke any proceedings beyond those guaranteed by the Constitution. I would suggest the message to the world from today's sentencing is that our courts have not abandoned our commitment to the ideals that set our nation apart....
"Unfortunately, some believe that this threat renders our Constitution obsolete. This is a Constitution for which men and women have died and continue to die and which has made us a model among nations. If that view is allowed to prevail, the terrorists will have won."
Reagan appointed him. But, he sounds a lot like me.

Well ex, two things come to mind. He should hand down his rulings in a judicial way, not as this Powerline blogger says, "render irrelevant editorial criticism of the president's conduct as commander in chief."
Two, his "irrelevent editorial criticism" was rather foolish considering the recent DC Court ruling showing that issue was settled 55 years ago. So was he giving some hell to ol' Harry, too?
