I ran across this interesting historical tidbit today: A report about what the US did when it captured a WW2 German sabotage team operating
within the US. These days, if this happened, they'd have been tried by the Justice
Department and their legions of morons, then sent back to their home countries. Liberals would go to bed happy. But back in the day, when people knew how to do things and stuff actually mattered, that's not what happened.
"All eight German agents were tried, convicted by the Military Commission, with six men sentenced to death. President Roosevelt approved the sentences. The constitutionality of the military commissions was upheld by the Supreme Court in Ex parte Quirin and the six men were executed by electrocution on August 8."
