The Supreme Court is abusing its power.

Since when does al-Qaeda operatives in foreign nations have constitutional rights under the US Constitution?

These are the people who murdered 3000 Americans on 911.

Well what I have read so far mentions nothing about individual rights it rather is a ruling on what powers are granted to the President in regards to treating with foreign national/enemy combatants. Not really the same thing.

And Yes the SCOTUS does have the mandate to do that.

We may not always like how the SCOTUS rules but it is part of their mandate, to see if law is Constitutional.
