Hugh Hewitt posts must-read excerpts from interviews related to the Supreme Court's decision, which follows up on his own column. Note also Mark Levin's sober words
It has been the objective of the left-wing bar to fight aspects of this
war in our courtrooms, where it knew it would have a decent chance at
victory. So complete is the Court’s disregard for the Constitution and
even its own precedent now that anything is possible. And what was once
considered inconceivable is now compelled by the Constitution, or so
five justices have ruled. I fear for my country. I really do. And AP,
among others, reports this story as a defeat for “the Bush
administration.” Really? I see it as a defeat for the nation.
Sen. McCain attacked the Guantanamo ruling as well.
John McCain on Friday described the decision by the Supreme Court to allow Guantánamo Bay prisoners to challenge their detention in US courts as “one of the worst decisions in the history of this country”.
The Republican presidential candidate said he agreed with the four dissenting justices on the nine-member court that foreign fighters held at the detention camp were not entitled to the rights of US citizens.
He criticised Barack Obama, his Democratic opponent, for supporting the decision and said it highlighted the importance of nominating conservative judges to the Supreme Court.
