So, as usual, the Junk Media has it all wrong. The stupid Leftist on the SC have trapped their terrorist buddies in Legal Limbo. They cannot be tried by Military Tribunals, they cannot be tried in US Courts and we can hold them " until the end of hostilities". The SC ACTUALLY made their situation WORSE. The can now be prisoners forever.
The other thing most of the Junk Media have missed is that this is NOT a decision from the "Bush Court" but the last incoherent, illegal and intellectually vacuous scream from the Clinton Court. Since Roberts had to recuse himself, the 5 Leftists simply chose to ignore the Constitution, ignore the Congress, IGNORE the clear direction in the Geneva Conventions about "Unlawful Combatants" and impose their own emotion based whimsy on the Law. Stupid legally, morally and politically.
Why Politically? Because this decision, like the Iraq votes, the Flag Burning Amendment vote and the Gay Marriage vote remind a disgruntled Conservative base WHY no Leftist can be trust with any political power, at any time at any level. Way to hammer home the wedges into your own political base Democrats! Way to dig yourself into a political hole all while helping fill in the hole the Republican Leadership had dug for themselves!
The really amusing thing is the Stupid Left is so hysteric about "Beating Bush" they have NO clue just how utterly stupid and counter productive the Courts actions were!

couple that with what Warner is saying:
Warner Is Uncertain on Legislation for Tribunals
and these jihadi's are not going anywhere for quite some time. Watch for the rhetoric to be ratcheted up about closing Gitmo now and how "cruel and unusual" it is not to give them a "fair trial." OK, you're kangaroo Supreme's have said they must be treated as Prisoners of War under the Geneva Conventions? Since when do POWs get trials while combat is still ongoing? I know! There's one, and only one, circumstance for trying POWs during a conflict under the Geneva Conventions. That's when they are caught out of uniform, without wearing markings of association and rank. Then they can be tried by Courts Martial and executed as spies.
Well, I guess we've got our solution!
Stupid leftist Supremes. They defied logic, defied the White House, defied the Congress and they spat on the Constitution. Bottom line, in doing this they are spitting on us and claiming that they are the ultimate power on this planet. Well, to misappropriate a phrase or two, they should not be so proud of the judicial reign of terror they've created. It is as nothing next to the power of the people, once enraged.

This goes along with MiD's post #57 from last weeks Sunday thread about having the shows dominated by the extreme left. The more we let them talk (and act, as here) the deeper the hole is they dig for themselves and the more engaged and focused we are.
I'm still predicting we get a six to twelve seat pick up in the House and one to three seat pickup in the Senate. But if they keep talking and acting like this we'll have majorities so large we can even afford to marginalize the RINOs for Bush's final two years. Wouldn't that be nice?
