Ubi bene ibi patria
"CINCINNATI - A lawyer for a former autoworker accused of being a Nazi death camp guard on Thursday challenged the right of the nation's chief immigration judge to order his deportation.

"The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments on the accused guard John Demjanjuk's challenge to a final removal, or deportation, order issued in 2005. The federal government has been trying to deport him for three decades.

Demjanjuk's lawyer questioned the judge's authority to order to the removal of Demjanjuk, 87. "The chief immigration judge is purely an administrative official," Demjanjuk's attorney, John Broadley, told the panel.

Arguing for the government, Robert Thomson of the Justice Department, told the court that contention was absurd, that the job title itself means he's a judge.

Demjanjuk has steadfastly maintained that he was a Nazi prisoner himself, forced to work as a guard, and that he hurt no one."

Will deporting this 87 year old man serve some purpose besides revenge?

Does letting him stay signify we don't care anymore about the terrible atrocities that were committed? What is the limit? 60 years? Ah forget about it, it's been so long.

I dont think letting him stay signifies anything . He has been here 30 years after these charges first came up. If we havent signified by now we never will.

He was first accused of being another man called "Ivan the Terrible" but then was discovered he was not. This man was extradited and convicted and sentenced to death in Israel until they found they had the wrong man . His U.S. citizenship was revoked in 1981, restored in 1998 and revoked again in 2002.

Also the story uses the word Alleged. How good are the memories and eye witnesses that were alive 60 years ago, they would be 80 or so years old too.

Now they believe this fellow is someone else.

In America we have double jeopardy. How many times can we convict the same man because they made a mistake in the first conviction. He is innocent until proven guilty and they proved him guilty once and found he wasnt. He is 87 years old and hardly knows what is happening around him.

I am not positive beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is this other man they believe him to be ( they already screwed up identification once) and I dont see how they can priove it either. If he is guilty God Almighty will provide for his punishment. My belief is that they have screwed with this guy long enough.
