    scalia actually believes we're going to die because a few people might get their day in court. that leaves congress with no choice but to impeach him.

    does this ruling only apply to guantanamo? what about the dozens of other secret prisons or prison ships?

    and the fact that this was a 5-4 vote reminds us of the importance of this presidential election. reporters might want to ask mccain who he would nominate.

      I'm not sure how expressing his opinion is impeachable. But I'm AMAZED that he believes that giving a few people the right of judicial review will result in more American deaths. Too bad he couldn't spell out the logical process behind that--it almost reminds me of the way some folks on Propeller argue.

      Though I haven't read the opinions yet, it seems to me the ruling must apply to any other prisons holding enemy combatants whose cases are reviewed in the same way as those at Guantanamo.
