Obama: Just Plain Stupid

In Obama's latest rant in support of the Supreme Court's decision to confer citizenship on all foreign terrorists he has highlighted exactly why the court was wrong. Of course, being Obama he thinks he was proving them correct! He cites the example of the Nurembourg trials of former NAZI officials as repudiation of the Bush administration's plans to hold military trials for foreign terrorists at Gitmo. Maybe Obambi hasn't figured it out yet, but the Nurembourg trials were military trials, held in a foreign country, with no jury just a panel of judges. In short, they were almost exactly like what Bush proposed for the terrorists. FDR held similar trials for captured NAZI spies, again not in civilian courts. It is also worth pointing out to the uninformed Senator that after the Civil War, the commandant of Andersonville prison was tried before a military tribunal, was denied nearly all rights afforded under the constitution, and was convicted and executed. Oh, and the war was over and he was a US citizen. Maybe Obama should study a little bit before he makes another stupid mistake. Then again, so should the Supreme Court.
