In an 8 to 1 decision the scotus kicked Bush on the ass for his trashing
of the
Bill of Rights. It is about time Bush was placed on the slippery slope he
so
well desreves. Thank you SCOTUS. Even the neocons have had enough of him



What a strange conclusion! I'm not sure who these neocons are you keep
mentioning (and I bet you don't know either, it's probably just a new catch
phrase you learned and like to use to avoid having to try to express complex
ideas) but the Supreme Court has ruled against the government many times
over the last few years. What makes this ruling so significant?

The ruling is pretty complicated. You can read some of the details he

Bush's defense was that in time of war balance of powers no longer exist and
the president as commander in chief has final word on all issues. SCOTUS said
"war does not give the president a blank check to go outside the constitution
and the bill of rights.". That slaps down Bush's delusions of grandeur.
