SCOTUS: POTUS SOL
Rules against president regarding war trials

In a surprise move, the Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the Dictator-tot 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 US law and [the "quaint"] Geneva conventions. The 5-3 ruling means officials will either have to come up with new procedures to prosecute at least 10 so-called enemy combatants awaiting trial, or release them from US military custody.
Damn activist judges!
