Apocalpyse Signs

What's next from our Imperial Judicial overlords?  A decree that we have to house released jihadis in our own homes?:

A federal judge today ordered that seventeen Chinese Muslims held at the Guantanamo Bay military prison be released into the United States by Friday, agreeing with the detainees’ attorneys that the Constitution bars holding the men indefinitely without cause. …

Justice Department lawyer John O’Quinn asked Urbina to stay the order for a week, giving the government time to evaluate its options and file an appeal. Urbina rejected that request and ordered the Uighurs to appear in his courtroom for a hearing on Friday. He said he would then release them into the custody of seventeen Uighur families living in the Washington area.

O’Quinn said the legal ramifications from the order are complex and that he wants time to consult with officials from the Department of Homeland Security. Under existing U.S. law, immigration authorities may be forced to take the Uighurs into custody shortly after they arrive in the United States, O’Quinn said. The Justice Department alleges they have ties to a group that has been designated a terrorist organization by the government.

Urbina chastised O’Quinn for suggesting that the government might take the Uighurs into custody for a second time.

Well of COURSE he did.  Hey, I know, maybe Mr. O'Quinn could offer to put them up at the Pentagon instead!  Or maybe at the White House - yeah, that's the ticket!  They can take turns trying to assassinate President and Mrs. Bush from the Lincoln bedroom, to which Judge Urbina will deny the Secret Service access.  Maybe that'll compensate them for their unconscionable six years at Gitmo for the inconsequential infraction of fighting on the side of al Qaeda and the Taliban against U.S. forces during Operation Enduring Freedom.

The War Against Islamic Fundamentalism will be effectively lost on November 4th, officially lost next January 20th, and lost for every American to see when that big Iranian nuclear flash goes off three hundred miles above Kansas, or maybe just in an Ameican city near you if we're lucky.  Judicial pronouncements like those of Judge Urbina serve as a depressing reminder that we were beaten long before We, The People, voted to defeat ourselves.
