- Once we get the court back in tune with the wishes of the American majority, not to mention the Constitution, which seems to be a “writ of the Devil” for Liberals, I sincerely hope future generations will remember how we slep through the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s, and never again allow a minority to gerrymander the SCOTUS again.

There has also already been legal precedent that the Commander and Chief, the President, has the power to convene military tribunals that date back even before the Constitution.

Also (from scotusblog.com):

the Court merely held that the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) requires war crimes trials held before a military tribunal to be conducted in accordance with the law of war, and that the Geneva Conventions are part of the law of war.

If it comes into play that these wartime prisoners caught on the field of battle, meaning either firing on US troops or engaged in other terror related activitie, if these prisoners are determined not to accorded Geneva Conventions, then this all falls apart for the Supreme Courts ruling anyways.

Also, if somehow they do determine that these prisoners fall under Geneva Conventions, then I say we treat them in strict accordance with the conventions, though I have yet to read it, not sure what it says about ethinically prepared foods being served to them and Qurans being handed out, and free soccer time, and yard play, and prayer time…ect. If it is determined that they are held under geneva Conventions, hold them in strict adherance to it.

Personally, I say we treat them like our friendly Sheriff in arapo county, make it a tent city, no air conditioning, they eat bologna sandwiches and make them wear pink underwear.

There is plenty of talk that the Court has overstepped its bounds in this decision also, ignoring set precedent (something they hold up like the holy grail in Roe vs Wade), and making a decision that has never been done to any sitting president in history.

From Freerepublic.com:

The Detainee Treatment Act of 2005, enacted last December, gives the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., exclusive jurisdiction to review habeas-corpus petitions from the terrorists detained at Guantanamo Bay. The act also expressly provides that, other than that court, “no court, justice, or judge shall have jurisdiction to hear or consider . . . an application for a writ of habeas corpus filed by or on behalf of an alien detained by the Department of Defense at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba . . .” Legislative word-smithing does not get much clearer than that. Equally clear is Congress’s authority to restrict the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court; Article III, Section 2, of the Constitution describes that the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court is subject to “such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.”

That by virtue of this move, military commissions are to be condemned as not “regularly constituted” under Geneva, despite their recognition in American law and their active, orderly, rule-bound use in American wars since 1847.

Some good reviews on this can be seen:
Here and Here.

I’ve just had enough of the constant whining by the usual suspects about how conservatives want to take everyone’s rights away via using the WOT as a ’smokescreen.’

The gloves are off.

Yeah, as Max Headroom once said “With friends like these, who needs en en enemas.”

You can take your thoughts about “conservative lackeys” and shove ‘em, Rob.

Can any rational person posting on this blog point to a single instance where their rights have been violated and their freedoms taken away? Anyone?

Didn’t think so. People who are this mentally unbalanced need our prayers.

Nice try, but no ceegar, thanks for playing, your consolation prize will be more Democratic losses in the Fall elections.

The President has to obey the law. That’s what makes our country great.

OTOH, this can be turned to our advantage in several ways, as has been innumerated by others. Theres also the side benefit that come election time this will be one more move by the Liberals that we can use against them with the majority of American’s, so it will definately be a case of “he who is jubilant last laughs best”. I also plan to work as hard as I can for any and all Republican candidates the next time around. Its time to really show these turncoats that pass themselves off as “American’s” that this really IS America, and not some messed up version of France. I won’t be happy with anything less than a complete repudiation of the Progressive Marxist ideology.

I see this as an expected result from those who can’t get past the BDS. Their capabilities are welcomed by the Islamic cult, as well as the enemies of all humanity.

Once again we see that the liberals and the terrorists have the same goals.
