An American judge has said he has "grave doubts" about whether he has the right to rule on the treatment of prisoners captured in Afghanistan and detained by the military in Cuba.
I have grave doubts myself. The judge would have to claim jurisdiction over Gauntanomo Bay. This is the very reason our masters in Washington sent their al qaeda guests to Gitmo, and not, say, to Fairfax County Virginia, where they rightfully belong: to avoid the intervention of jurists etc.

May they hang themselves in their cages.

The judge will rule that as an Article III court under the Constitution, he does NOT have jurisdiction in this matter. The principal case he will cite in that ruling is Ex Parte Quirin, 1942.

Those FReepers who have read this case will know exactly why the ruling is what it is. The reporters in the lamestream media, who have either paid no attention to Quirin or tried to explain it away, will be puzzled and will wax wroth over the decision.

To understand any situation, you have to get your facts straight. And a unanimous Supreme Court decision, when the subject is constitutional law, is a solid, unavoidable fact, regardless of how much the lamestream media seek to ignore it, or demean it.
