if we lose this case in the SCOTUS - Gitmo closes. Its that simple. here is one issue where the polls show americans strongly in favor of the administration, if the SCOTUS gives these combatants rights - Bush should ignore the order.

If you send the terrorists back to their own countries, this becomes a moot point.

There'd be major trouble if he did.

The current plan is to send the Gitmo scummers to Afghanistan and points East.

You might want to reread the constitution. If the SCOTUS were to do that, the president would be obliged. There are checks such as impeachment by congress or amendments (tough to pass) that could override the decision if SCOTUS were deemed to be stepping over the line, but "ignoring" is not one of them.

What you are advocating is revolution in the very real civil war type sense.

We can only pray that common sense will prevail. I know it has been in short supply these days.
