As I understand the horrendous SCOTUS decision, I think they are right.

Yeah, the Scotus decision allows Bin Laden to have his day in civilian court. But they're saying he should be allowed a trial in civilian court. That's what they've always wanted.

No wonder Scalia gets depressed. If the Constitution is the most important thing to him and it seems to be, he watches as it is continually shredded. We would be better off with grade schoolers interpreting the Constitution.

No. Note the key words:
"If he were to be brought back,”
The decision applies only to those brought back to US controlled territory or land (5 libs on SCOTUS ruled that Club Gitmo qualifies). If instead US forces captured him and detained him at a POW camp controlled by another country, then Habeas Corpus would not be applicable.
