Judicial Activism
The sixth amendment to the US Constitution states "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial." Of course, this doesn't apply to the Bush administration.
The government has been holding Jose Padilla, a US citizen accused of terrorism, without charges, without a trial, and without legal representation since May 2002. And rightfully so. Because if the government says Padilla is a bad guy, it must certainly be true.
However, Monday District Court Judge Henry F. Floyd, a pinko from the notorious left-wing state of South Carolina has ordered that Padilla must either be charged or released.
Talk about judicial activism.
How dare this judge try to protect the Constitution, an outdated document inspired by a bunch of French pseudo-communists.
And to think, Floyd was actually appointed by Bush.
