The case, Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, was technically about whether Osama bin Laden's former chauffeur, a Yemeni named Salim Ahmed Hamdan, who is imprisoned at Guantanamo, could be tried by military commission - a system established by Bush. The court ruled that such commissions were not authorized by federal law and violated our signature on the Geneva Conventions.

Article 84 of the Third Geneva Convention: "A prisoner of war shall be tried only by a military court, unless the existing laws of the Detaining Power expressly permit the civil courts to try a member of the armed forces of the Detaining Power in respect of the particular offence alleged to have been committed by the prisoner of war."

The laws of the United States do not permit a U.S. servicemember to be accused and tried in a civil court of war crimes. They are entitled to be tried under the UCMJ in military courts.

According to Article 84 of the Third Geneva Convention, such charges must therefore be dealt with in a military court.

The purpose of this article is to protect combatants from vengeful civilian juries who may not comprehend that a killing during a war may be perfectly legal.

Some gift. They ignore Congress and make a mockery of the Geneva Conventions.

Thank You, you Black Robed Twits.

Only thing the USSC reminded us of were the provisions in the Constitution for removing Justices from office.

Every prior President had the option to shoot unlawful combatants without a trial. How then is this President "expanding" his powers? You're an ass, Trudy.
