#1 The prisoners should be released on the steps of the Supreme Court during its next session.

#2 Job security for the Intelligence and Homeland Security communities and the National Lawyers Guild...so Lynn Stewart (if she's not busy shaving the whiskers off her face) must be delighted since she can again secretly convey messages from her clients to the Global Jihadi community.

#3 Long past the time that the Justices, like Senators, should be popularly elected. They intentionally make law complicated so that they, and only they, as priests of their fraternal order, know the arcane but correct sequencing of invocation to evoke their god. BTW, Congress ain't too hot either as all they had to pass was a simple document suspending habius corpus for the terrorists et al being held in places not part of the continental US, Alaska, Hawaii, or territories. But no, they had to get fancy themselves trying to play the game of word sequencing and eloquence that the priesthood reserves for itself.

#4 What gets me is the absolute arrogance that the leftists on the court have.

They decided that THEY could blithely overrule long precedent, the president and both houses of congress who worked hard to pass a law that would provide unprecedented due process to non-citizen illegal combatant prisoners, who by all rights can simply be summarily executed under the Geneva Convention.

And whats worse, not only did the overrule the will of the people as shown in the executive branch and both houses of the legislative branch over a military and forign policy conduct issue, the arrogantly snatch that right and haded it over to an unlected set of judges in the appeals court.

Judges making US military and Foreign policy, with NO VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

Its called Judicial Tyranny, and if the liberals get their wish, we will see more and more of this sort of thing happening.

Until we get to the point where we have to get the guns and ropes and adminiser justice ourselves to our self-absorbed black robed masters and the weak kneed SOBs in Congress and the Whitehouse who are letting them run amok.

-we're almost there brother; I see only more stupidity in the coming months and possibly years. The founders never intended for the Constitution to be some suicide pact that we have to suspend our God Given reason and commonsense in order to utilize it correctly. To restore our liberty it may result to no other recourse then from the barrel of a gun.

#7 Well, it looks like the Jury Box is no longer accountable (the Soap and Ballot Boxes long ago usurped by the Left), unless this situation can be rectified, and I'm not hopeful, we're pretty much left with the Ammo Box. At some near point, such action is practically incumbent upon us.

#8 I respectfully disagree. Guantanamo was an aberration that should never have happened. It was devised to establish a sort of pseudo-legality for the internment of (suspected) terrorists that should never have happened.

It was like having the cake and eating it.

Either you bring people, whoever they are and whatever they have done to judgment. If you do, then do it with all the rights regular citizens and even the Nazis at Nuremberg enjoyed.

If you can't do that because you can't get the evidence and need to resort to measures which are not acceptable at a regular court of a democratic free country, then don't do it at all.

So what to do with people who are a clear and present danger? Kill them. If this is a war,then kill them. Without decorum. Kill them in their shitholes.

Gitmo just ruins morale and international prestige, and you get nothing out of it.
