Where is Kennedy, Pelosi, Boxer, Hillary, etc. in all of this. Why aren't
they shouting out to the American Public the injustice?. They have the
podium for it. Maybe they agree. Do they perceive protecting a real
danger to our country is not worth their political careers? Surely they
could make political hay out of this if you are right. Ever think you may
be wrong? Ever think they know more than you?


What is your opinion on why they remain silent in this matter?

Frankly, I don't know if they have remained silent. Regardless, I have my
own voice, and more importantly, my own mind. Kennedy, et.al., do not
speak for me. A democracy depends on the rule of law. If the government
can't be depended upon to follow the rule of law, how can you expect the
population to? Do you have a problem with Padilla being given a trial?
