Coalition Letter to Senators on Dept of Justice Funding in FY2010 Appropriations Act (November 2009)

The undersigned organizations urge you to oppose Senate Amendment 2669, offered by Senator Graham, to H.R. 2847, the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2010. This amendment would prohibit the Department of Justice from using funds under the bill for the prosecution of any alleged planners or conspirators in the September 11, 2001 attacks in regular Article III federal courts, which are the same federal courts where the Department of Justice regularly tries and convicts defendants charged with international terrorism crimes.
