No, they're saying, "At least we hit those Bush administration officials (and anyone who would follow in their path) in the wallet!"

Mixed feelings here....
- I'm encouraged that the administration took action and rounded up 700 muslims.
- It's not clear from the article how many were illegal immigrants, but I would hope they rounded up all illegal Muslim immigrants, as that is sufficient grounds.
- My concern is with any who weren't illegals. Did the administration have sufficient evidence to round them up and hold them? And shouldn't the judicial system be confirming that? This article doesn't address that.

OMG how can this be?? It highlights the need for an “empathetic” Supreme Court!! Can't you feel the pain of all those Jihadists who wont, for the time being, be able to assuage their pain by humiliating Ashcroft and Mueller before a Clinton appointed judge??

Illegal immigrants. There was an easy solution in front of our leaders’ eyes. They still refuse to ENFORCE THE LAW.

How many if any were legal citizens? How many if any were legal immigrants (including current on paperwork like travel/student visas)?

In this 5 to 4 vote, are there any surprises on who voted which way????
I would guess the five were : A. Kennedy, Scalia, Alito, Roberts, and Thomas.
I would guess the four who thought these guys did have the right to sue gov’t officials were: Breyer, Ginsburg, Stevens, and Souter.
This could be a solid precedent with talk of suing Bush administration officials over alleged torture. This sets a high bar for lawsuits over officials performing their official duties.

Folks one vote made the difference. That is how important each member of the supreme court is.

I just thank the Lord that Kennedy held his ground on this one. However, it may show Obama that he should get the most liberal new jurist he can find to sit on the SC. Let’s just pray together that all the good guys on the SC live long and healthy lives.

When all of this garbage of terrorists having rights started. You could go to the ACLU web page and they sounded JUST LIKE Obama. Crazy allegations... some were wanting to blame the U.S. for prior treatment in jails overseas. It is nuts. Obama is nuts.

Rev. Wright referred to 9/11 as America’s chickens coming home to roost. There is no doubt that O shared that hateful view.

Weren’t most—if not all—the 9/11 hijackers here with valid paperwork?
How do they sort up the good one from the bad one?
