WOW! Scotus rules in favor of Constitution
Deciding 5-4, the Supreme Court ruled that Our Dear Embattled Leader and his slavish minions can not limit habeas corpus. The ruling is pretty much a kick in the nuts to the Pretzelwits' kangaroo courts at Guantanamo. As Judge Anthony Kennedy so properly puts it in the majority opinion:
"The laws and Constitution are designed to survive, and remain in force, in extraordinary times. Liberty and security can be reconciled; and in our system they are reconciled within the framework of the law."As expected, those standing against the Constitution included the Dread Chief Justice Roberts, his scurvy First Mate Alito, the cabin boy Thomas. The sea cook, Bafangu Scalia wrote the dissent, a dreadful pasteup of neocon nonsense and Republican talking points with little legal basis, defending the indefensible. While Our Dear Embattled Leader says he will try to present new legislation to violate the Constitution, the real point to remember is that the election of the Old Fart will let him put more clowns like the dissenting crew on the court. If that were to happen, this might be one of the last times the Court would decide in favor of the Constitution.
