Bush is the President.

As President he is head of the U.S. military. COnsequnetly Bush is in chareg of military operations against individuals at war with the United States, NOT the Supreme Idiots.

Bush should simply IGNORE the Supreme Court, and using his authority as head of the military, proceed with military trials against these scum.

Did we ask permission from the U.S. Supreme Court for the Nuremburg trials? I doubt it.

But yes, you are correct. We need more judges like ROberts, Scalia, Alito and Thomas on the Supreme Court.

Such would only be justified if there was no way, within the system, to achieve the desired goals. If I understand the decision, it really just requires that Congress make explicit what the expectations are. Congress has the power to declare war, not the President. Congress has the power to legislate the structure of the lower courts, not the President.

The failure of Congress to act is to be addressed by holding periodic elections. Not by granting the powers of Congress to the President.

Politically, this is a great decision. If the Demoncrats want to interfere it will be timely for the upcoming election. Let's see the anti-war Demoncrats expound on why we should not hold these terrorists accountable.
