SACOFTOMATOES

HIGH AND MIGHTY

After sentencing of Ahmed Ressman to 22years U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour made the statement. The successful prosecution of Ahmed Ressman should serve not only as a warning not only to the terrorist, but as a statement to the Bush Administration about its terrorism-fighting tactics (not only a judge but an expert in fighting terrorism) "We did not need to use a secret military tribunal, detain the defendant indefinitely as an enemy combatant or deny the defendant the right to counsel," he said Wednesday. "The message to the world from today's sentencing is that our courts have not abandoned our commintment to the ideals that set our nation apart. Sir you don't have to send messages to the world just your own country. He added that the Sept 11 attacks have made Americans realize they are vulnerable to terrorism what intellect and that some believe " this threat has made the Constitution obsolete...." What would make the Constitution obsolete is Judges that legislate from the bench
