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

I suspect that it really isn't over. After all there are two choices that we simply aren't going to do. We can release them or we can drag them up here for endless trials.

If the TERRORISTS kill our troops after they have been captured, then maybe we should stop offering any quarter to them.

The president has already tried the vermin at Gitmo?
When was that?

Why are irregulars who are not signatories to the Conventions even covered by them?

One of the items cited int he dicision was the Geneva Convention. Since when does the Geneva Convention apply in this case?

The SCOTUS is as liberal as ever (at least in relation to the WOT).
