Leave it to the supreme court to screw things up.

Its interesting that the USSC ruled that some people have rights. In the past they have been so opposed to the rule of law as to be hilarious.

Of course Scalia, Thomas, Roberts and Alito all ruled against allowing anybody any rights. They should be charged in such a court. Perhaps they would "volunteer" for these "enhanced interrogation techniques."

Perhaps this is a first step toward America's return to values protected by the Constitution, a rebuttal of the Bush legacy.

This argument works, except for the fact that none of the detainees has been declared a prisoner of war.

No we should just let them all die there and keep them forever because we decided they're terrorists. It's not like they didn't have a fair trial and knew all the evidence against them. There was no secret classified information that these people were not granted in order to defend themselves.

They are enemy combatents and do not deserve the protection of the US Constitiution.

It has been 7 years since the towers fell, and we are right back into letting the attackers run free in our country.

We already know they are conducting dry runs at airports testing our resolve. Then suing when exposed. And our courts keep ruling they can do this.

The way it's set up now, the President could call YOU an enemy combatant, no oversight allowed, no questions asked and then YOU wouldn't deserve Constitutional protections!

It's a slippery slope
