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.


Could you provide a reference for this contention? I have never heard
anything like this from President Bush myself. The description of the court
decision doens't mention it either. The ruling was regarding the legal
rights of enemy combatants.


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.
