And Kennedy's opinion made it clear that this was about as far as this Court was going to go. With the strong dissent and weak affirmation, I think that is a clear signal that the right to a habeas hearing is ALL they are going to get.
Personally I hope that is all they get. I am not a liberal kook. I come down on this side of this one issue because of what habeas rights represent. I don't see how anyone can be comfortable with any executive who has unreviewable authority to detain anyone, certainly not the same military bureaucrats who are pressing charges against the Haditha marines. That is why I don't trust them.
And where and in what court will that hearing be held?
You could not be more mistaken
If the lefty lawyers get their habeas corpus hearings in Federal courts the will then demand the detainees be tried in Federal courts on US soil. They are non stop campaigners for "human rights" They get no glory unless the venue is Federal court. They are not versed in military law. The Supreme Court rolled over for them two days ago and they'll do it again
