Did you all know that Roberts had to recuse himself? He had heard the case before at the DC Circuit and could not rule on it again. I think that is an imporant point to make to all the Perpetual Bitchers on our side. This is one of the LAST decisions that will be handed down by the OLD court. This is NOT a "betray" of the "True Conservatives" by the Bush Judges as some of our psuedo Conservative Freepers will be screaming.
Justice Thomas Dissent;
"The Court’s evident belief that it is qualified to pass on the “[m]ilitary necessity,” ante, at 48, of the Commander in Chief’s decision to employ a particular form of force against our enemies is so antithetical to our constitutional structure that it simply cannot go unanswered. I respectfully dissent."
Absolutely. It also shows why we must ignore our frequent differences with President Bush and do our best to elect Republicans this fall--our very existence as a nation and the physical survival of many of us depend on it.
