George wanted to give the poor detainees a trial. The Supremes said the trial must accord with treaties, the UCMJ, or law.

If Bush doesn’t like thos options he can hold them until the war is over.

I like the second option myself.

You really need to get up to speed on the drug thing. Even the NIDA says drugs do not cause addiction. They say it is half genetics and half environmental factors (what I prefer to call trauma). My take:

Is Addiction Real?

The Rs are going to get gobsmacked hard by this if the Dems ever wake up.

Call it a liberal fantasy if you want, but the Supreme Court’s legal smackdown of the Bush White House’s monarchical terror “war” was the first real hint of the return of oversight and sanity in at least some quarters of American government and jur…

It’s just the Democrats making a slight adjustment in strategy since the last direction failed. The good news is that the people don’t seem to be buying this tack either.

First of all, it doesn’t apply to the prisoners at Gitmo, it applies to Hamdan only. It said they can let him rot in hell if they want to(they didn’t exactly phrase it that way, but the meaning was the same) All they said is, if you don’t want to try him with a civil court or court martial, you have to get congress to agree with how you want to do it.

So far, I don’t see where the decision said anything at all about the Presidents role as Commander in Chief. The SC can’t change that anyhow, that is constitutional authority.

Now, let’s say the President doesn’t agree with the Supreme Court and still maintains he is doing what he is doing thru his constitutional authority. If the Supreme court still doesn’t agree, what is the remedy. I guess they could ask Congress to impeach him. I would say that the Pres could just ignore them and absolutely nothing would happen.
At any rate, your assessment that the WaPo is in fantasyland is most certainly the case.

I watched LtCdr Charles Swift on Greta’s show, and he said the decision means Hamden gets a trial based on our rules. Everything I’ve read in other places don’t agree with that, I’m not sure who’s correct, but I suspect LtCdr Swift is not correct.

If there is somenone that knows for sure, it would be helpful.
