Why? Read more from Andy McCarthy at NRO on just how dangerous activist judges are to America.

“Ali Saleh Kalah al-Marri is an al-Qaeda-trained terrorist embedded here by the terror network, right before 9/11, as a ‚Äúsleeper‚Äù operative to sabotage the United States ‚Äî by committing acts of terror and using his techno-skills to disrupt the economy by computer hacking. President Bush thus designated al-Marri as an unlawful enemy combatant in the war on terror, and the government proffered this and other information to a federal judge ‚Äî a presentation al-Marri did not rebut.

Despite all this; despite the fact that the nation remains at war; despite the fact that Osama bin Laden, Ayman Zawahiri, and other assorted Qaeda mouthpieces continue to promise the organization is planning devastating attacks against our homeland; and despite the fact that, as we catastrophically saw less than six years ago, such attacks cannot occur absent the machinations of terrorists, like al-Marri, planted inside our country; a federal court Monday intervened on the enemy‚Äôs behalf.”

In spite of this criminally bad ruling, I see it going to the SCOTUS and ultimately being overturned. God help us if it isn’t.
