The leftists on the SCOTUS just gave the golden goose to the Democrats. The Democrats will shout "violated the Geneva convention" until they are blue in the face, take back majorities in the houses.

This paves the way for a far more reasonable trial for impeachment.

Which gives another golden egg of helping them in '08.

Bush's second most important focus right now is, as I've been saying, getting constructionists to fill any vacancy on any court he can.

"This paves the way for a far more reasonable trial for impeachment."

No way. Being on the losing end of a 5-3 Supreme Court decision is not grounds for impeachment. This involves differing interpretations of complex laws. The Supreme Court is not a criminal court, but an interpretive court. Many presidents/administrations have lost cases in the Supreme Court, but that doesn't imply they were therefore subject to impeachment.

"This paves the way for a far more reasonable trial for impeachment."

Rubbish.
When did the Geneva Convention become part of the American constitution, let alone grounds for impeachment of anybody?
And when did the RATS get a majority in the US Senate, let alone two thirds majority?

And when the Republicans introduce legislation just before the elections setting up a way to legally try the terrorists? What Dem is going to vote against that right before an election? And the SCOTUS seems to have declared the terrorists protected, and Article 68 of the convention seems to imply we can execute terrorists when we go about it the right way...

I'm don't see how screaming that will do them any good when the legislation is on the floor to abide by the ruling...?
