Really? I am surprised. I could have sworn the US had passed anti-terrorism legislation. I am fairly sure the crackpot USA PATRIOT act is the short title for: "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism" See that word "terrorism" there. Seems to me this is anti-Terrorist legislation. I am sure there is more. >>> When a military >>> group from another country blows up bridges and trains and kills >>> civilians, I call that a war, not a criminal act. >> >>Which country has invaded the US? > > Nation of Islam. From Wiki about the Nation Of Islam: "The Nation of Islam (NOI) is a separatist, religious, and socio-political organization founded in the United States by Wallace Fard Muhammad in 1930 with a declared aim of resurrecting the spiritual, mental, social, and economic condition of the black men and women of America and the rest of the world." Not sure that is an invasion, more it was created there. If you mean to treat Islam as a country, you are pretty off base.

This is an interesting line of debate but maybe not one you should head down. You appear to set no value on human life outside the US.

It wasn't real. When you say asks judges to do certain things, do you mean carry out a judicial review of a policy or action? If so, of course the judges comply - that is what they are there for. If you mean the Government of the day asks the judges to break the law for them, well it *may* happen but there certainly is no evidence of it. The sentence "Your history allowed the ruler to orchestrate things" is irrelevant, insane and simply shows how little of the UK's history you actually understand. >>> >Our judges have to be politically impartial since they are >>> >occasionally called on to rule about the legality of government >>> >legislation.

You conflate individual misbehaviour with an institutional fallacy. You do it all the time. You need to address this. They can not be "ordered" to take certain actions but there will be some of them (as everywhere, in every job, in every country) will be susceptible to bribery. > Oh, my dear, you do have a lot of growing up to do.
