I sure hope this judge doesn't let Maduro get away with possession of machine guns in violation of a 1932 US law.
Glad it's a jew old enough to remember the destruction of Solomon's temple. Wouldn't have it any other way.
Let's be real, the judge presiding over this is irrelevant because this was always going to be a show trial. You don't kidnap a world leader and put them on trial only for them to get found free of any wrongdoing.
Although that would be hilarious.
Honestly, just for absurdity, I now hope he gets found not guilty. What a fucking bizarre position that would be.
I 100% agree. And then deport him back to Venezuela where he's hanged for all the fucked up shit he did to their people.
Interesting. Not quite sure what to make of it. He's ruled against Trump multiple times, and he's also ruled against the state and against the military even before Trump. So on the surface he's not just some flunky.
It is interesting that he was a JAG lieutenant, though. A dude with military connections is in charge of the...rather unusual trial of Maduro, who was just militarily extradited from a foreign country. He's also currently overseeing Hugo Carvajal's case. And ruled against Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act in regard to Venezuelans.
Also, the link at the bottom of the page "List of Jewish American jurists"...I tried to open it, but it said my bandwidth limit for the whole decade had been exceeded, and then my computer caught fire under the strain.
Dude's 7 years away from being a century old.
Judges need term/age limits more than Congress at this point
So, why exactly are we trying a foreign head of state in a domestic court? Are we claiming to have legal jurisdiction over South America now? Oh wait, we already did that with Noriega decades ago.
I knew it was a jew before expanding this post.
Anyone seen a decent analysis of what happens if he's cleared in court?
Why are we giving the dictator a trial? Just put a bullet in his head and call it a day.
On paper: to prevent the abuse of being able to call any any leader a dictator and bypass due process.
In reality: to demoralize any supporters and spread it out across a longer time so there isn't a single event to galvanize them.
Okay, and when the activist judge dismisses the case and demands he be returned to power?
The judge is going to rule on the charges, not on returning someone to power. And yeah, if he isn't an activist, he's going to laugh these charges out of court.
If the judge rules that his arrest was "illegal" then what do you think that's going to mean? Sure, the Trump admin could just ignore the ruling but so far he hasn't ignored jack shit from these activist judges. If the court rules that his arrest was "illegal" then BY LAW he has to be released.
That's a pretty big IF in this day and age
Yeah, which it is. You talked about the judge returning him to power.
I agree. He's probably an activist who's going to follow the US security state's dictates.
Not even activist judges have the ability to return him to power. You just keep the charges and trials (with different judges) coming until your new regime is in solidified. They already got him to waive his right to a "speed trial."
Even if somehow he walks on all of them, none of the Venezuelans in power by that point will want to step aside to let him back in.
You think the US only kills leaders if they are "dictators"? Evidently, you're not familiar with Patrice Lumumba.
What does that have to do with this one specific individual who is, in fact, a dictator?
Because your "dictator" meme is retarded? What is the relevance even? You don't even know that your country installs and backs dictators in many places?
What meme? He was, factually, a dictator.
The relevance is that he was a dictator whose own people want dead, who we captured through a military coup. If anything the irrelevance is you getting so hung up on the word "dictator". What would you rather I call him " a leader with political differences"?
I love how me thinking they should kill this dictator who we have arrested and is in currently in US custody has somehow made you think I'm not completely aware of the very shitty things the US government has done around the world. Apparently in your mind it's not possible for a person to both be for killing people like Maduro and also be an American purely because our government has put people like Maduro in power around the world in the past.
Great job, you fell for a bunch of AI-created videos.
Maybe point to the reason they abducted him.
I don't know, probably because you echo their propaganda? He's a dictator, but you were pretending that this is the reason the US hates him. That's quite absurd.
Of course it's a -stein
He presided over the aftermath of 9/11 too! Isn't that cool?
