#2 Khouzam may have no right to be in the United States

#3 Who says he's going to be tortured?

Him? Of course he's saying that -- he doesn't want to go to Egypt!

Used to be, when I was young, if you made an assertion in court you had an obligation to back it up with, oh, you know, evidence or something.

Now it might be that Egyptian prisons are pretty rough. The whole country seems pretty rough so why should their prisons be any different? And I'm betting, I'm just betting, that Egyptian cons don't like wife-murderers much (unless it was an honor killing).

But absent a clear demonstration of a reasonable belief of torture -- and I'd demand photos -- he goes back to Egypt.

#5 "Granting a stay of removal to assure proper observance of the applicable law serves the public interest."

Big BS judge. It servers your pathetic need to feel morally superior to the rest of us. It does serve the 'public interest'. You're strata of the ruling class that thinks its 'cruel and unusual' to execute clearly and unquestionable people found guilty of the most hideous and brutal murders in society. Even though the Constitution literally says nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; which even a lay person can understand that granted due process, they can be denied life.
