Supreme Court Denies Demjanjuk's Deportation Plea
(05-07) 12:38 PDT CLEVELAND, (AP) --

The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected a bid by alleged Nazi death camp guard John Demjanjuk to stop his deportation to Germany.

Justice John Paul Stevens on Thursday made no comment as he denied Demjanjuk's request. A German arrest warrant accuses him of 29,000 counts of accessory to murder during World War II.

Lawyers for the 89-year-old retired autoworker from suburban Cleveland say he's in poor health and too frail to be sent overseas.

1. Good. 89 yr olds can and do fly overseas all the time.
That in itself is not an adequate reason to not go to trial in Germany.

3. While this is good news, anyone else noting a disconnect here?
the Supreme Court doesn't even give a statement when denying the bid of an alleged death camp guard... But we're very, very, VERY busy "debating" admitted torture in our own prison camps, and whether anyone should be held responsible.

4. How many kangaroo court trials do we have to put this guy through?
Let the man die and let the Man Upstairs decide if he's "Ivan the Terrible". We mortals have fucked it up royally.

7. This is provided anyone is able to prove
in a court of law that he is guilty of the crimes charged.

10. He was a guard at a concentration camp.
I'll believe Nazi hunters and actual Holocaust survivors before Pat Buchanan, who defends him, btw.
