I read the Eisenstrager decision. The words “declared war” appear in it. This decision could open the door to POW’s from the Korean and Vietnam wars to sue for reparations.
Amen to that! The SCOTUS may have unwittingly contributed to a higher ‘kill’ rate on the field, but that’s their problem, isn’t it?
I have no problem with it — at all.
That’s my solution. Shoot them on the spot and they won’t make any more trouble. And you won’t have to feed and coddle them for $100,000 a year at taxpayer expense, or pay the fees of their Public Defenders.
BUT. Remember Haditha, and Murtha, and the Navy Adjutant General’s Office. What do you do when you have enemy agents working as stringers for the news services, and traitors working as lawyers in the military, who will accuse you of murder every time you kill an enemy?
Capture a terrorist in the act, and some liberal judge will let him loose to kill again. Shoot him, and you’ll be court martialed for killing a poor, innocent civilian, as testified by an Islamist AP reporter and several Muslim witnesses, and as ordered by a commander who has been threatened by Murtha with loss of all his funding from the Armed Services Committee.
Imagine how this will play out if Obama, Reid, and Pelosi are running the show.
Amazingly, the US soldiers and marines have less right to appear in civilian court than the jihadis.
If, upon review of their case, it is determined that they were illegal combatants that are not covered by the Geneva Conventions, do they go back to Gitmo indefinitely? What happens after this review if the court says that they are not to be freed? Has anything changed in that regard?
Maybe John McCain needs to include the Supreme Court Five along with Barry Obama in his next tour of Iraq.
Apparently the Supreme Court and the Democratic Party now believe that the 101st Airborne should have been been giving Miranda warnings to the SS Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler division at Bastogne.
America should note how few “unelected unaccountable activists” have control over about 300 MILLION people’s lives. Here is a classic example of how they can REWRITE our Constitution to suit their radical anti-American agenda.
Simply stated: Take no prisoners. (See my tagline)
The Decision is the surreal inversion of “The Trial” by Kafka.
The collective perpetuate themselves and the collective for terror into future generations unaborted.
Impeach Them!
Congratulations, SCOTUS. In particular: Anthony Kennedy, John Paul Stevens, Stephen Breyer, David Souter and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. You’ve just opened up the floodgates for Islamic scumbag terrorists to manipulate the U.S. court system to their advantage. Somewhere, Hermann Goering, Rudolf Hess, and Julius Streicher are wondering why they didn’t get the same break.
To repeat what I posted a few months ago: the troops need to come home and turn their guns on the traitors here in the U.S.
Associated Propagandists found some co-conspirators to claim detainees were tortured. Perhaps this case will go all the way to the USSC. /sarcasm

While I respect the opinion of the desenting judges in the Boumediene vs. Bush case, I think their hyperbole is over the top. In reality, not much will change till the legal wrangling continues to evolve. The list at the end of this email is not real, only political hype. Also, even with close guarding at the prison in Kandahar, Afghanistan, 400 Taliban prisoners escaped and are now on the loose and potentially very dangerous to Allied troops. These individuals are much more dangerous than the 200 or so people in Guantanamo.
I would expect Roberts to know that the House of Representatives can draw up articles of impeachment against any sitting SCOTUS justice. They are politically accountable; it's merely that those charged with holding them accountable lack the political will to do so.
