MSM: Jose Padilla case going to SCOTUS?

##########################################

On.

.

Fighters another big case it's going to be heard at the supreme court this week.

Arizona's immigration law SB 1070 is finally gonna have its day.

And considering where huge issue this has been since the law first passed the mainstream media.

Is gearing up report here's arizona's case on the controversial immigration law that is happening tomorrow now federal court has already blocked.

Four key parts of the law say immigration is a federal responsibility.

Tomorrow the supreme court will hear arguments about Arizona's but maybe we'll focus on whether states can adopt their own immigration measures borders and boundaries the day before the highest court in the land takes up the question up.

Cool can enforce immigration law democrats vowed to force a vote in the senate to shoot down Arizona's controversial immigration law.

The fight over illegal immigration heating up on capitol hill to morning a Senate panel stacked with some heavy hitters.

Questions the architect up the legislation raises the question whether state laws can trump federal authority.

On immigration issues chairman Chuck Schumer says I'll take action if the Supreme Court upholds Arizona's law classic state versus federal power struggle that they're looking at the key issue before the court.

Is who should be enforcing illegal immigration laws if the controversial state law that cracks down on illegal immigration in Arizona which requires police officers to check the immigration status of anyone they suspect is in the US.

Illegally but also makes a legal immigration a state crime they say SB 1070 is a racist law now that case is an important one.

And so we providing more coverage other tomorrow but since the supreme court is in the news.

I thought we should take this opportunity to shine a light on another case.

That could be heading there and at the case we will not hear about the mainstream media that's for sure.

To ACLU and the mother Jose Padilla for asking the Supreme Court to reinstate.

Their lawsuit against former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

And five other company officials now he's not familiar with this case.

Jose Padilla is an American citizen who wants to sue these officials.

Because he claims he was tortured right here on US soil a currently body is serving time for convictions of supporting terrorism.

& Co servo Bosnia and Chechnya something that is trying to appeal but.

When I actually talked about that case we're talking about how it was.

That he was treated here in the US in 2002.

The deal was detained after returning it to the US from Egypt.

I was accused of collaborating to build a dirty bomb he was then detained at a military brig in South Carolina for four years now almost three those years he was held.

Without any charges and during that time he was deemed an enemy combatant by the Bush administration.

And according to body is attorneys he was kept in a blackout isolation cell he was shackled.

For hours water no to stress positions exposed to noxious fumes at extreme temperatures and threatened to be sent to Guantanamo Bay sup.

All these things amount to torture and his mother an ACLU want somebody to be held accountable for two specially because.

He's an american citizen now the ACLU puts it it's hard to conceive.

A more profound constitutional violation and the torture a US citizen.

On US soil and these days we've been forced to.

Put up with a lot of profound constitutional violations right things like the US government killing its own citizen abroad without any due process but this case brings up so many important questions.

About lead immunity the fact that high-ranking officials have not been held accountable for any other policies post-9/11 also the back at the courts for the most part have been completed.

And allow the government to get away with it using national security excuses.

A reason they're trying to take this to the supreme court now is because they're trying to appeal the ruling.

The 4th Circuit Court which said that the deal could not sue and ACLU's also asking the Supreme Court to answer the following question they ask whether federal officials responsible for the torture of an American citizen on American soil.

May be sued for damages under the Constitution.

Does Glenn Greenwald pointed out his blog at Salon Today in what kind of a country.

In that even a question it is really crazy.

It's important the case like this not only see the light of day but they also get attention from the media when they're trying to get to the courtroom and so far the mainstream media has chosen this.
