Gromdor Posted February 19, 2019 #26 Share Posted February 19, 2019 1 minute ago, Big Jim said: Her crime may be against the United States, but the amendment you cited states that a person must be tried "wherein" the crime was committed. I'm no legal scholar, but there seems to ample wiggle room between those two terms. Possibly. But the wiggle room would be in her favor and not towards imprisonment without a trial. She could argue that American law can't apply because it occured in Syria and it is not a US state or district. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would argue that she in an enemy combatant, by her own choice, and should be treated as such. She has no more right to a US trial, with all its protections, than the other terrorists she joined and fought with. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? She can argue that American Law doesn't apply to what she did including her digital footprints as well. Gee, wonder why she wants to come back to the U.S... eta Looks like she'll say anything it takes for her to get back here though I doubt her heart is patriotic.

If a trial were to occur in the US, with her considered a US citizen, wouldn't US law supersede the Geneva Convention? As far as I'm concerned, she's a traitor, pure and simple, and should be treated as such. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jim was just looking for loop holes to send her to Guantanamo is all. I was merely pointing out that those potential loopholes would work against his ideas is all.

The path I see for her, if Trump wants to truly have people return to their home countries, is she comes here, gets tried for providing material aid and whatever else they want to throw at her, serves her time, and is released back to Alabama. I imagine that there are similar discussions going on around the world about their various ISIS fighters and what to do with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't so much looking for loopholes as zeroing in on the exact meaning of words. If that creates loopholes, then so be it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not let these women who are married to terror come home These are the women who leave their homes, families, friends and countries to marry the world's worst terrorists. They have sex with them, they breed with them, they cook for them, they clean for them, they love them and they worship them. And while they are all doing this, their husbands are engaged in rape, torture, stoning, beheading, and murdering people. These ISIS brides are as ineffable as those horrible women who write love letters to infamous serial killers in prison. They have no attention or concern for the poor victims of their despicable monsters – they are simply agitated by the murderous brutality. https://whatsnew2day.com/do-not-let-these-women-who-are-married-to-terror-come-home/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is why we have codified laws that apply to all people rather than personal vendettas and revenge killings. Once that starts, its hard to stop. Punishment is supposed to be based on crime, not the individual. Side note, I thought it was illegal for criminals to make money on books about their crimes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treason has been punishable by death,we've just watered many of our punishments down to the point many don't care if they break the laws because they know it will amount to a slap on the wrist... This woman called for the bloody death of Americans while camped out with the enemy...would you prefer 3 hots and a cot for 30 days and a stern talking too over a cup of chamomile tea?... As for the sidenote...well it all depends,i have zero doubt our blessed media will try and make her out to be a victim and some lawmakers will stand in defense of that BS aswell!

Nope, a fair and impartial trial and an appropriate penalty suits me just fine. Life imprison or the death penalty.is probably the proscribed penalty if found guilty. I don't know about the chamomile tea, that may be going too far. Bottom line for me is this; I really want to believe our Constitution and our jurisprudence system is the best the world has to offer. It is be broad enough to apply to all crimes without going around it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was with IS in Syria,the US constitution doesn't cover her being an enemy combatant to the host country on top of being a traitor to the US...Perhaps Assad or others in control of the region could show her a better time than evil tax paying Americans footing the bill for her the rest of her days in a cell I've heard she renounced her citizenship,not positive but read it elsewhere... Meh i just don't have the same faith in our justice system as you do...When some get 25+ for drug offenses and others walk after a year or two on parole for much more heinous crimes...it's become a sick joke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we let her back she'll do the things she told others to do . She said these things. She should not be allowed back. She's a threat to our nation. She can't come back here.

Yeah, I know. This may seem like a lame excuse, I think the justice system is soundly written, but applied by less than stellar humans. We have no philosopher kings, and maybe too many political hacks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
