BILL NUMBER:A9870
TITLE OF BILL: An act to prohibit the expenditure of state and local
funds relating to any trial of enemy combatants at any federal court in
the state of New York
PURPOSE: This bill would prohibit the expenditure of state, local or
public authority moneys relating to federal terrorism trials in the
state of New York.
SUMMARY OF PROVISION: Section one provides that the State, any political
subdivisions or public authorities shall not spend any funds relating to
civilian criminal trials of enemy combatants for acts of terrorism in
any federal court located in New York State.
JUSTIFICATION: This bill would prohibit the New York State, including
the City of New York from paying for expenses incurred for the Obanaa
Administration's decision to conduct any, enemy combatant, terrorist
trials in federal civilian court,
The ill-conceived plan by President Obama and Attorney General Eric
Holder to try the 9/11 terrorist suspects in New York City civil court
rather than a military tribunal sends a dangerous message to our enemies
that want to destroy our way of life. The United States should be send-
ing a message to the world that we mean business when dealing with
foreign attackers by trying them in a military tribunal.
