I disagree. The Court overstepped its bounds and encroached on the prerogatives of the Commander In Chief. He commands the military, not nine people in black robes.

Whatever power he has, is not unlimited. For example, Nixon couldn't command the military to disband the Congress, when he was facing impeachment.

So who is the arbiter of legal orders? Can each branch make its own determination of what is constitutionality? Or does that right belong exlcusively to the Judiciary?
