Update:
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that President Bush overstepped his authority in ordering military war crimes trials for Guantanamo Bay detainees, a rebuke to the administration and its aggressive anti-terror policies.
Justice John Paul Stevens wrote the opinion, which said the proposed trials were illegal under U.S. law and Geneva conventions.
The case focused on Salim Ahmed Hamdan, a Yemeni who worked as a body guard and driver for Usama bin Laden. Hamdan, 36, has spent four years in the U.S. prison at Guantanamo...

Hahahahahahaha DU'er.
I think we're being allowed to play with our food.
[If you want to try Clinton for a blowjob and perjury, go ahead.
We're giving Bush the chair then for starting an illegal war, wiretapping American citizens against FISA rules and established laws, etc.
Fair is fair...if a blowjob lands you impeachment...starting an illegal war on false pretenses should at least get you juvenile court, no?]
Man, are you easy to draw out, LOL.
see hun, i knew you were not a keeper. you just couldn't hold it together long enough to sound legit. leftist trolls never can, alas.
Sorry but President Clinton was Impeached for lying under oath (otherwise known as perjury) not getting a BJ.
And could you site how president Bush Broke the law in going to war with Saddam Hussein?
dammit, i was pulling for him too! i really thought maybe THIS ONE would be able to hang. but nope. alas and alack. and a prelaw major to boot! ; )
Your abundant use of leftist buzz words and phrases indicates an ideology.
Procedures to follow, in a nutshell.
I pull down my pants.
You do what you do.
"He's dead, Jim."
I love the smell of "trollzone" in the morning.
Cowards who don't join an army or militia with an identifying insignia or uniform will never be legitimate POWs.
You need to become better informed before posting such nonsense.
This is truly despicable. The Court has no authority to interject itself into this matter. These are illegal foreign fighters, captured on a foreign battlefield, detained and imprisoned on foreign soil.
If these guys want to be treated like POWs, let them wear a uniform, and fight according to normal rules of war.
So, you now you've admitted to being a liar and a troll. You got away with much more here than any of us would at DU.
He was fun, wasn't he?
Under UCMJ you only provide counsel if you press charges, no charges can be pressed, soo....they can be held indefinately...and they can be shot.
Does this mean that a non-citizen terrorist can enter our country, kill 10 million people, get arrested, play the court system and get off on a technicality or a hung jury; or appeal a guilty verdict for years and years?
fun while he lasted!
It is interesting that you, who proclaim to be so concerned about checks and balances, about the overextension of the powers of government, particularly the federal government, should defend Roe v Wade, which has no textual foundation in the Constitution whatsoever, and was simply a case of seven justices imposing their personal opinion on the entire country, while overturning the laws of every state. So much for "the rule of law."
How in the world do you try Al-Qaeda types?
Do you want to sit on that jury?
How many family members do you wish to lose?
How do you go about gathering evidence. On a battlefield? In the middle of hostile territory.
The SC, by the way, did not state that these folks would get fully procedural rights by American law.
The door is open for other procedures which go with prisoner of war status. That, of course, can mean detention until the end of hostilities. It is a very convoluted opinion.
If you are not a troll, please hang in and learn the laws of this land, too. Dissenting opinions are actually allowed here. And, if you are a troll, you will not be with us long. (Do a search on "troll.")

I just didn't feel like going head to head with the troll and getting suspended again.
And it looks like he is gone. Oh well.
