Schumer probably would’ve been right had a Republican won the presidency in 2008, but we now have a liberal Democratic pantywaist occupying the Oval Office and he wants to put on a show trial for political benefit. So we’re left with a war criminal being tried like a car jacker in a civilian court just blocks from where almost 2,000 of our fellow citizens were murdered on September 11th.

Of course, the real problem here is that the senior senator from New York has flipped on the issue now that he as an ally in the White House to defend. Here he was back in 2001, just weeks after the attacks:

There are also those prisoners of war who we have captured and will capture in Afghanistan and other countries who will receive a trial of some sort. It is clear we need to try those suspects in a forum that achieves two primary goals—two goals, I might add, that may not conflict. First, the Government must have the power to use even the most sensitive classified evidence against these suspects without compromising national security in any way, shape, or form. In addition,those who commit acts of war against the United States, particularly those who have no color of citizenship, don’t deserve the same panoply of due process rights that American citizens receive. Should Osama bin Laden be captured alive—and I imagine most Americans hope he won’t be captured alive. But if he is, it is ludicrous to suggest he should be tried in a Federal court on Center Street in Lower Manhattan.

Get that? Those responsible for the 9/11 attacks are war criminals and don’t deserve the same due process in a civilian court that American citizens would receive for ordinary crimes. In fact, suggesting that people like Osama Bin Laden would be tried in a federal court in Lower Manhattan is “ludicrous”.

But now that a liberal occupant of the White House is trying someone like Osama Bin Laden in a federal court in Lower Manhattan with the same due process that American citizens would receive for ordinary crimes? Well, Chucky isn’t interested in answering questions.
