Terrorist Groups Aided and Abetted by Judge
Yahoo News reported that Judge Collins of the now-infamous Ninth Circuit court has struck down portions of a law used in designating terrorist groups. Judge strikes down Bush on terror groups - Yahoo! News. The article misleadingly focuses on the President’s Executive Orders with respect to the terrorism financing law. The net result is, though, that she has decided that the law as written was too vague.
Her name should sound familiar to those involved in counterterrorism:
In 2004, Collins ruled that portions of the Patriot Act were too vague and, even after Congress amended the act in 2005, she ruled the provisions remained too vague to be understood by a person of average intelligence and were therefore unconstitutional.(h/t Michele Malkin)
