#1 Clear disdain for law? Not like the ACLU making law up without the consent of the governed!
BTW the Constitution addresses war powers as those of the Executive and Legislative branch. There's nothing in it which says the Judiciary has any say, except of course what the courts claims for itself by fiat.

#2 ..but the Justice Department is appealing a ruling by a federal judge in Washington this week that says the administration must follow the Geneva Convention in handling terror detainees, unless an impartial tribunal shows that they are not entitled to its protections.

Hot diggety! Let's waste MORE money setting up a tribunal to determine something that could be done by any competent lawyer at a fraction of the price!!!
