Utter Nonsense

Today our ever-so-radical, unchecked, unelected, do whatever the hell they feel like doing, U.S. Supreme Court decided by a 5-4 margin that they were going to extend constitutional rights to the terrorists presently being held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Last time I checked these constitutional rights were rights afforded to American citizens and not a bunch of crazy assholes that would like nothing more than to slit your throat while you're sleeping, smiling all the while.  As far as I'm concerned these 5 justices are unpatriotic and are further endangering the lives of the citizens of this country and the lives of our soldiers around the world.

Amendment 5

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 offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life and limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be 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.

Amendment 6

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.

These were the rights afforded to these terrorists today.  Can anyone tell me, in these two amendments, where it says anything about terrorists or enemy combatants?  And when did Afghanistan become a state of the U.S.?  Oh, and when did we give Al-Queda citizenship?

I guess the only thing we can do now is to stop taking prisoners and just kill all the terrorists.
