Not sure how this is an Zero victory, since he wants to Mirandize everyone, but nonetheless good news. This gives me an idea:ship the Gitmo terrorists to Bagram AFB in Afghanistan in order to nullify the
Boumediene v. Bush (553 US 723) decision since todays opinion stated that the detainees could not challenge their holding since the AFB is on the sovereign territory of another government and also because Afganistan is considered an operational theater.
Works for me.

We might well want to make this a permanent arrangement with Afghanistan, or some other Central Asian nation.
They have interesting ideas about prison life.

I hope the court checked this out with the ACLU before releasing its decision...

According to the RATs, it’s only illegal when they’re not in power. Whenever the socialists get control of something, then nothing’s off-limits.

The ruling was a broad victory for the Obama administration in its efforts to hold terrorism suspects overseas for indefinite periods without judicial oversight. Nice spin NYT. It was a slap down of biblical proportion, or have we already forgotten Guantánamo......?
To: UAConservative
a victory for Bush not Obama
To: plain talk
Non-citizens in a warzone claiming habeas corpus rights? Any President would take the administration’s position.
To: plain talk
Right, a victory for Bush and his policies. The one the Dems want to jail the lawyers who approved the policies. I bet a court would say waterboarding is ok too, and not “torture”. Damn McCain and Grahamnesty and all their ilk.

my thoughts too, this is no win for nobama at all , he probably wants them to appeal and was crying as the other far left kooks were about them being held there
the hypocrisy by the left nuts is astounding
when they’re in power war is OK, holding people OK when Bush was in they was crying every day about it as was their friends the media

A federal appeals court ruled on Friday that three men who have been detained by the United States military for years without trial in Afghanistan have no right to challenge their imprisonment in American courts. The ruling was a broad victory for the Obama administration in its efforts to hold terrorism suspects overseas for indefinite periods without judicial oversight.

Actually, this would seem to be a victory for President BUSH’s policy. Of course the totally uncredible NY Slimes cites it as a victory for Obama, this after having savaged Bush on the subject throughout his presidency. The Slimes can’t go fully insolvent quickly enough for me.

Wouldn’t this be as much a victory for President Bush as well?

In Victory for Obama, Court Bars Detainees Challenges Contest time!
What would the New York Times headline have read had Bush been in office when the court reached this decision?
