She will have the deciding vote on death sentences rendered by military courts like in Guantanamo (Gitmo), Cuba.

Currently, the Military Appeals Court has a panel of four judges.

It is the Military Court’s equivalent to the Supreme Court.

If confirmed by the Senate, Johnson will:

• reverse any death sentences handed by the military courts

• approve the release of all the remaining prisoners held in Gitmo

• use FISA warrants to illegally spy on American citizens

• electronic surveillance of American citizens under FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act)

• handling classified information at trial

• national security letters

Musetta Tia Johnson, Military Appeals Court nominee (above)

Musetta has never practiced federal law.

According to Pacer, the official record of the federal judiciary.

Her resume is void of achievements.

They only mention job titles.

The Senate has withheld Johnson’s 61-page Judicial Questionaire and Personal Financial Report from the public.

Why?
