The Supreme Court - According to Bush and his merry band of neoconservatives the only function of this Court should be TO DO AS THEY TELL IT TO DO.  Well the 4 lackeys' did just that, 2 of which he appointed himself, the others, one his Daddy's choice and the other (he wished he was his daddy) Reagan's. Good ole Reagan appointed  Anthony Scalia, (Scalia on capital punishment: "Death is no big deal" {unless of course it's his or his loved ones} -  Hypocrisy to the highest degree!) did Bush's bidding just like a good little justice was suppose to do. But the tie breaker was Kennedy (Justice Anthony Kennedy acknowledged the terrorism threat the country faces — the administration's justification for the detentions — but he declared, "THE LAWS AND THE CONSTITUTION ARE DESIGNED TO SURVIVE AND REMAIN IN FORCE, IN EXTRAORDINARY TIMES!") Thank all that is good that Reagan slipped up on this nomination, when he nominated a THINKER to the Supreme Court. Will wonders never cease? See video here: http://thinkingblue.blogspo t.com

Supreme Court delivers a SMASHING blow to BUSH and ADMINISTRATION today!

Suspected terrorists and foreign fighters held by the U.S. military at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, have the right to challenge their detention in federal court, the Supreme Court ruled Thursday.

The decision marks another legal blow to the Bush administration's war on terrorism policies.

The 5-4 vote reflects the partisan divide over how much legal autonomy the U.S. military should have to prosecute about 270 prisoners, some of whom have been held for more than six years without charges. Fourteen of them are alleged to be top al Qaeda figures.

When it comes to the illegal abuses of executive power by the Bush Administration, each has two aspects that are outrageous: 1) the blatant violation of the law and 2) the reprehensible activity they are actually doing.  For example, with warrantless domestic spying, as far as we know, the actual spying was not too extensive and does not yet appear to have been applied for political purposes.  But the worse part of this program was the violation of the law.  When it comes to the detainees, I am far, far more angry at the policy of capturing, holding and torturing these people than I am at the principle of violation of the law.  I guess there isn't much of a difference, and one obviously leads directly to the other, but for some reason, I make a distinction in my mind.

One way to look at it (none / 0)

The people were captured and tortured and we can't put the toothpaste back in the tube as much as we would like to.

All we can do is release those who need to be released and stop it from happening in the future.  I suppose that is why the decision is so important.

Although, I guess we could put the sonsabitches who did it on trial and lock em away forever.  We could do that.
