Yeah, well the Supreme Court sure has a lot to say about Gitmo these days, doesn't it?
I'm sure the justices are having a fine Independence Day as well.

The liberals do, brought up by the uber-liberal ACLU, in defense of a confirmed terrorist and tyrant loyalist...The Supreme Court, much to the contrary of conventional false perception, is 5 to 4 in favor of the liberals.
"On December 30, 2005, Congress enacted the Detainee Treatment Act (DTA). It unambiguously provides that, asof that date, "no court, justice, or judge" shall have jurisdiction to consider the habeas application of a Guantanamo Bay detainee. Notwithstanding this plain directive, the Court today concludes that, on what it calls the statute's most natural reading, every "court, justice, or judge" before whom such a habeas application was pending on December 30 has jurisdiction to hear, consider, and render judgment on it. This conclusion is patently erroneous. And even if it were not, the jurisdiction supposedly retained should, in an exercise of sound equitable discretion, not be exercised." -- Scalia
The Supreme Court, once again, have overstepped their authority. They are asserting what the Framers warned against, judicial tyranny...They are defying simple logic to boot.
