Actually that was Jackson about Marshall's decision.

From the Happy Anti-American Leftist Media at BBC News:

US court rejects Guantanamo trial

The US Supreme Court has ruled that the Bush administration does not have the authority to try terrorism suspects by military tribunal. <>P> In a landmark decision, the court upheld the challenge of Osama Bin Laden's ex-driver against his trial at the US facility at Guantanamo.

Salim Ahmed Hamdan is demanding a civilian trial or court martial, where the prosecution faces more obstacles.

He is one of 10 Guantanamo inmates facing a military tribunal there.

A bit of both, actually... the quote is Jackson; Taney did rule against Lincoln's suspension of habeus corpus in MD.

Lincoln simply ignored the USSC on this one; something I pray Bush 43 would seriously consider doing in this case.
