The question they should ask Roberts...

[Lydia Leftcoast]

I would like to see the Dems corner Roberts on the question of how terrorism suspects are treated.

There have been several high-profile cases in which people suspected of "terrorism," both U.S. citizens and non-citizens, have been denied their Constitutional rights.

The Court of Appeals recently ruled that it was okay for the Feds to hold Jose Padilla, a U.S.-citizen, without charges and incommunicado, overturning a lower court ruling.

Does an accusation of "terrorism" automatically deprive the accused, regardless of their citizenship, of the right to know the charages against them, to have adequate representation, to face their accusers, and to have a speedy and public trial?

If so, why are "terrorism" suspects, who may or may not be guilty, treated worse than suspected serial killers and child molesters?

1. I thought Roberts already didn't answer that one.

You know, when he didn't answer about civil rights.

2. He was asked, and of course he didn't answer!

3. has he already not answered a question on bush v. gore?

thank you for not answering, it makes you eminently qualified to hold the most important job in the legislative branch for the next 30 years.
