Suck it Rummy! Supreme court lays down a cock block

The Constitution was UPHELD?!?

:applause:

I bet this part was interesting to watch:

It made for a striking tableau on the final day of the first term of the Roberts court: the young chief justice, observing his work of just a year earlier taken apart point by point by the tenacious 86-year-old Justice Stevens, winner of a Bronze Star for his service as a Navy officer during World War II.

Thomas attacks Stevens in Hamdan opinion.

Justice Clarence Thomas refers to Justice John Paul Stevens’ “unfamiliarity with the realities of warfare” in his dissenting opinion. ACSBlog notes: “Stevens served in the U.S. Navy from 1942 to 1945, during World War II. Thomas’s official bio, by contrast, contains no experience of military service.”

Great, this is just what we need. The Supreme Court turning into Congress... :roll:
 
Now it sounds like Dubya is definitely going to ignore it, surprise, surprise.

Senators on Capitol Hill are already moving to undercut yesterday's Supreme Court ruling that military tribunals being held at Guantanamo Bay are illegal, RAW STORY has learned.

In a joint statement, Republican Senators Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Jon Kyl of Arizona, noting Breyer’s opinion, declared their intention to “pursue legislation in the Senate granting the Executive Branch the authority to ensure that terrorists can be tried by competent military commissions.”

If you don't like the game, change the rules.
 
The Supreme Court ruling specifically said that Congress could pass a law to do this if they chose.

So, Al-queda has signed the geneva conventions?

Awesome. Maybe now we can have peace talks and see what type of appeasement they require so we can put this war off for another 10-15 years. Better yet, lets make them a deal to lay down their arms and identify themselves before we close Gitmo.

All you chicken littles who thought the world was going to end becuase Roberts and Alito were getting nominated should be prohibited from making any more political predictions.
