The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that President Bush did not have authority to set up the war crimes tribunals at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and found the "military commissions" illegal under both military justice law and the Geneva convention.

SCOTUS rules:

1. President had no authority to set-up military commissions without Congressional approval.

2. May have violated Geneva Convention

3. SCOTUS has authority to rule on this case
