Ninth Circuit Court Strikes a Blow for Al Qadea

As this Circuit Court has done so many times it has bent the Constitution over backwards to protect a man whom justice has found deserving of punishment. This is a case of Judicial irresponsibility!
Ahmed Ressam, an Algerian born immigrant to France, illegally entered Canada in 1992 with a fake passport. He was admitted despite the fake passport claiming to be seeking political asylum.
It is known that soon after he joined the Canadian terrorist cell GIA, an armed Islamic group affiliated with al Qaeda. He lived off the Canadian welfare system and supplemented his income with 30 known robberies of tourists to Canada.
December,1999 he was indicted by a U.S. grand jury for attempting to bring into the United States 124 lbs. of explosives in the tire well of his rental car. He was apprehended at the border of Port Angeles, Washington after disembarking from a ferry arriving from Vancouver.
Ressem was tried in Los Angles beginning 3/13/2001. He was convicted of nine counts of conspiracy to bring explosives into the U.S. for terrorist purposes. The target was L.A. airport. His prosecutors had sought a 35 year sentence but he was sentenced to 22 years when he agreed to co-operate with the prosecution of his two co-conspirators. He later failed to co-operate.
This man is not a citizen of the U.S. He is a known terrorist, and yet the Ninth Circuit Court overturned one of his convictions for the reason that the prosecution had not shown that the explosives were used in an act of terror! The Court in its' remand, demanded that the lower court must justify its' rationale behind any sentence it imposes the second time.
This notorious liberal court has been overturned and reversed in 75% of its' appealed decisions. This is a perfect example of the liberal anti-Constitution type of "non-justice" being administered by too many Judges in U.S. courts.
