Zandar's Thought Of The Day

So, if I'm reading this correctly, we can't let terrorists have a trial in NYC because simultaneously it will be both of the following:

1) A banana republic show trial put on by Eric Holder that will turn Manhattan into a circus, proving that Obama has no interest in rule of law and is a totalitarian dictator fascist Maoist Communist bad person, and we're making our patriot brethren in NYC sad by reminding them of 9/11, and they can't handle it, why do you hate Democracy so much, Obama?

2) A waste of America's tax dollars by defending a clearly guilty terrorist murderer who deserves to be put to death immediately, and a trial means NYC's liberal traitor scum may acquit him, and so we can't ever afford to have a trial, we need to just execute them now, why won't Obama just man up and show our enemies we mean business?

Yeah, that makes sense.  Both.  At the same time.

[UPDATE 2:08 PM]  What Steve Benen said.

I just wish conservative Republicans would come up with an argument here. I'm not looking for air-tight reasoning -- just something coherent and half-way intelligent. Because at this point, I have a hard time imagining that even the most dimwitted member of Congress actually believes that fair trials for almost-certainly-guilty terrorist suspects are "dangerous."

Who is it, exactly, that Boehner & Co. don't trust? The American system of justice? Federal prosecutors? Officials at federal detention facilities?

Or are we back to Republican fears that terrorist suspects are comic-book villains with super powers?

There aren't any larger, more colorful, and more badly-positioned hoops that conservatives can jump through to justify Obama Derangement Syndrome then the hoops that represent the truly idiotic arguments they have for making sure terrorists never get trials.
