One Utah

I deeply regret the title of this post. I did not want OneUtah to appear one-sided. But I also insist that outrage is the most balanced and reasonable response an American can have when our Consitution is openly subverted without even an attempt at judicial reasoning.
I challenge anyone who consider’s themselves a patriot to defend the unilateral suspension of the Consitution by a federal judge somehow beholden to the president.

In a startling, ominous decision—ignored by most of the press around the country—Federal District Judge David Trager, in the Eastern District of New York, has dismissed a lawsuit by a Canadian citizen, Maher Arar, who, during a stopover at Kennedy Airport on the way home to Canada after vacation, was kidnapped by CIA agents.

Arar was flown to Syria, where he was tortured for nearly a year in solitary confinement in a three-by-six-foot cell (”like a grave,” he said). He became, internationally, one of the best-known victims of the CIA’s extraordinary renditions—the sending of suspected terrorists to countries known for torturing their prisoners.

Why is there no outrage? One possible explanation lies in a technique described at The Eagle Forum.
