It took a Judge to defy the bully of America to the Philippenes.?

Question

Judge defies Manila, keeps U.S. Marine in jail 2 hours

MANILA (Reuters) - A Philippine judge sidelined his government on Wednesday and denied a U.S. request for custody of a Marine who was convicted of raping a Filipino woman last year, while he appeals his case.

The Philippine government had agreed with the U.S. embassy that under the terms of a Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA), Daniel Smith should remain in U.S. custody while he appeals last week's guilty verdict and sentence of life in prison.

But Judge Benjamin Pozon said it was Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez and Chief State Prosecutor Jovencito Zuno who violated the treaty when they made an agreement with U.S. Ambassador Kristie Kenny to return the 21-year-old to her custody.

Answer 1

Where is there any evidence of 'bullying?' From your own reference the Philippine government agreed with us.

Answer 2

"Bully"? That's a fairly inappropriate and biased word choice that only shows that you have a problem with America. You seem to have no appreciation for how this renegade judge has put his country's government in a quandary by violating the terms of a treaty it has signed.

Lawlessness is ugly, and when judges violate the law, they need to be impeached and removed from the bench.

It's a much bigger and more nuanced topic than your blindly irrational "hate America" meme.
