Judicial elitism. SCOTUS gives slap in the face to all the men and women who serve/served and those who that made the ultimate sacrifice by giving the rights they fought and died for, to those who have not earned them and never could.

I just read the text of Johnson v Eisentrager. If the phrase “declared wars” is the reason SCOTUS ingnored the pecedent set by it, then they just opened the door to lawsuit by POWS from the Korean and Vietnam Wars.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murder is less to fear.

- Marcus Tullius Cicero 42 B.C.

They are non U.S. citizens who were non-uniformed combatants and terrorist. I say transport them back to the country of capture, where they can be quickly tried, and then shot.

It’s not cowardice, it’s treason with a liberal dash of Constitutional ignorance.

If the spectre of impeachment has ever been warranted, it is clear that this judicial overreaching has risen to an attempt to subvert the constitutional power of the chief executive to execute his duties as commander in chief. To allow this ruling to stand, is allowing our constitution to be subverted.
