Comments on: Rep Gohmert (R, TX-01) introduces legislation calling for closing of the GITMO detainee facility! http://www.redstate.com/moe_lane/2008/07/31/rep-gohmert-r-tx-01-introduces-legislation/ Fri, 17 Feb 2012 04:23:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: kingnavland http://www.redstate.com/moe_lane/2008/07/31/rep-gohmert-r-tx-01-introduces-legislation/comment-page-1/#comment-874 kingnavland Thu, 31 Jul 2008 23:37:29 +0000 #comment-874 <p>Dear Congressman Goode: I am writing this morning to urge your support for H.R. 6615, the GITMO Act of 2008. This bill is a vital step in restoring the proper balance of power between the executive and judicial branches of government. Sponsored by our fellow Republican Louie Gohmert (TX-1), H.R. 6615 provides for the transfer of detainees from the facility at Guantanamo Bay to an as-yet unbuilt facility outside the Supreme Court Building. In this new facility, quoting from the bill's text, "The United States Supreme Court will be able to more effectively micromanage the detainees by holding them on the Supreme Court grounds." More specifically, Justice Kennedy, in association with the Department of Defense, will be required to provide shelter for the detainees.</p> <p>In my opinion, there could not be a better way to ensure that the detainees' rights are not being violated and that they are not being tortured, maimed, killed, et cetera, except that perhaps Justice Ginsburg could do the interrogation herself over tea and crumpets. Maybe you could sponsor an amendment correcting this omission.</p> <p>Most sincerely yours, Real Name</p> Dear Congressman Goode:

Maybe you could sponsor an amendment correcting this omission.

Most sincerely yours,
