Common sense lives in the US
Thankfully common sense is still alive in the US.
"A U.S. judge on Friday refused to stop Saddam's execution, rejecting a last-minute court challenge.
U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly said U.S. courts do not have jurisdiction to interfere in another country's judicial process. The ruling can be appealed, but it was issued within an hour of the time Iraqi officials said they expected the execution to be carried out. "
I was aghast last night to read that this filing was even allowed. I knew nothing about the Judge in question, other than she was a Clinton appointee, but the fact that someone even thought that this was a possibility stunned me. It is comforting to see that common sense is still alive in the US Judiciary.
