#2 So some low level court is telling the US government to give asylum to a high level terrorist? Why am I not surprised. Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman was given asylum then went on direct, spiritually advise the first World Trade Center bombing and plots to bomb bridges and tunnels that would have killed more thousands, so why not this guy. It's not like he ever did anyting to us.

It's time to get rid of 90% of the lawyers and judges a build a court system to protect the citizens, instead of this playground for lawyers that the court system has become.

#4 According to the committee, the decision on granting asylum to Akhmadov was taken by an immigration court in Boston, Massachusetts, which was immediately appealed by the US government. "The appeal has now been rejected and the decision on granting asylum is now final," the committee said.

Unfortuneatly, this is BS. The State courts have no authority over granting asylum. Only the Federal Government can do that, and that is dictated by International treaties. The moment the guy sets foot on American soil we can arrest him and send him back to Russia.

#6 Immigration court is Federal Court, not the Federal Government. When I say Federal Government I mean the Executive Branch. Federal Court is part of the Judicuary Branch. The Judicuary Branch has little say in this matter, especially when it falls under International Treaties.

#7 This is just another example of why we need a constitutional amendment requiring that Federal judgeships be filled via elections for, say, 10-year terms. It is just ludicrous that decisions important to national security are being made by officials who are not periodically accountable to the electorate.
