The People vs. The President

B.O. is 'quietly' encouraging the FBI to begin reading Miranda rights to Gitmo prisoners, giving them the right to plead the Fifth.

This will create an environment where these prisoners will get released...and if B.O. has his way, they'll be released into the U.S.

Therefore, one could clearly rationalize and justify a lawsuit against B.O. and his team for conspiracy to commit murder.

Murder against Americans by our own President, you ask? Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it?

Consider that these "enemy combatants" (whatever!) were trying to kill Americans (Taliban, Al Qaeda, etc.). These non-American citizens will be given the right to plead the Fifth (silence) when brought to trial (which, given the circumstances of being read Miranda rights - that would be in a U.S. court). Among other issues, this will give the prisoners the right to an attorney (draining an already full legal system) and the Weekly Standard pointed out that this will impede the ability to pursue intelligence on the battlefield.

If there is not sufficient evidence, they will be released here - not back in their home country.

That process puts people who want and intend to commit murder against Americans on our own soil and they will be placed there through deliberate planning initiated by our President.

That would be conspiracy to commit murder.

Now the question that remains is who will file that suit against the President?
