I will not, I swear, I will not call anybody names but...
people, you still don't get whom are you dealing with...

you and your porno agenda makes me laugh...those who perished from Kantor Fitzgerald made more money than thisa entire baord and industry combined.

The ruthless enemy upon us will take EVERYTHING we muster throwing at them.

oh well....let's have another useless demonstration of solidarity with terrorists...

This isn't about a porno agenda. This is about one of my own elected officials taking away rights guaranteed to me since 1791. These officials took an oath to preserve my Constitutional rights when they took office.

This guy is a criminal and PROBABLY belongs behind bars anyway. However, disregarding the 5th and 6th amendments for Citizens it unexcusable. In fact, it puts the public at a greater risk, because eventually this guy will get out because the gov't has fucked up this case so much.

5th Amendment
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

6th Amendment
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.
