SCOTUS Rules On Gitmo Tribunals

I hope to write more on this later, as I’m a bit busy at the moment, but I
did want to mention that news on the SCOTUS’s ruling on Gitmo tribunals is hitting the wires:

The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that President Bush
overstepped his authority in ordering military war crimes trials for
Guantanamo Bay detainees.

The ruling, a rebuke to the administration and its aggressive anti-terror
policies, was written by Justice John Paul Stevens, who said the proposed
trials were illegal under U.S. law and Geneva conventions.
