Court rebukes Bush on war crimes trials

SCOTUS has spoken – no military tribunals.

The Terrs are still in custody, and there they remain, legally, and apparently for the duration.

Aggravating, but not a huge disaster. It is still worth noting that the usual suspects on SCOTUS were opposed to anything smacking of a vigorous defense of the Republic.

In the future, one can hope that Roberts will be able to make a difference, which he could not on this decision due to his prior involvement in the case at the appellate level.
