Our illustrious Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has decided that enemy combatants have constitutional rights, regardless of where they're being held.
Have they lost their everloving minds?! This will result in at least two things happening:
- Terrorists will no longer be taken prisoner unless they overtly surrender. Troops have just lost all motivation to to take prisoners instead of just killing them and letting Allah figure it out.
- Prisoners will be kept by our allies that, unlike SCOTUS, do not believe that foreign nationals who have been captured on foreign soil do not have the same rights as citizens.
It's my opinion that this decision is the SCOTUS' attempt to smack down the Bush administration because they're sick of them skirting the edge of constitutionality by relying on technicalities an nuances in law and procedure. In other words, SCOTUS is mad because the Administration is acting like lawyers.
As much as I hate to say it, McCain is the only hope that these decisions get worse. I hate, hate, hate saying that!! You have some saying that 2 years of Obama will get us another Republican congress, but how many communist judges and justices will 4 or 8 years of Obama get? We're talking about decades of these types of decisions.
I loathe McCain, but can his judicial picks be worse than Obama's?
What’s that sound? The thunder of left-wing lawyers and Gitmo detainees jumping up and down for joy at the Supreme Court’s ruling this morning. Brace yourselves. Dissenting Justice Antonin Scalia warns that the ruling “will almost certainly cause more Americans to be killed” and concludes “The Nation will live to regret what the Court has done today. I dissent.”
