A truly historic moment in our nation's judicial history

Jose Padilla, former Chicago gang-banger, (one time) alleged "dirty bomb" plotter, and (current) violent jihad support cell member, made his first appearance before a judge today in a Miami, Florida, courtroom. If you don't know who Jose Padilla is, you don't deserve the right of habeas corpus. (Which is gone, America!)

Padilla was arrested on May 8, 2002.
He first saw a judge on January 5, 2006.

That's a few days shy of 3 years and 8 months!

The Khmer Rouge regime was in power in Cambodia for that long.
The Japanese Occupation of Hong Kong was that long.


Even if he shined Osama bin Laden's bullets he should have been brought before a judge sooner than this.

This is just a hunch, but I bet 2006 is when Bush, Cheney and their ilk have the most disasterous of calamities planned. It won't quicken the "return" of the messiah, you vapid morons.
