Why Does the Supreme Court Hate America?

Todays ruling that military commissions are unlawful; also say

1)That the President's conduct is subject to the limitations of statute and treaty

2)That Congress's enactments are best construed to require compliance with the international laws of armed conflict, absent contrary legislative direction.

3)That Common Article 3 of Geneva applies as a matter of treaty obligation to the conflict against Al Qaeda.

Common Article 3 provides that detained persons "shall in all circumstances be treated humanely," and that "[t]o this end," certain specified acts "are and shall remain prohibited at any time and in any place whatsoever"—including "cruel treatment and torture," and "outrages upon personal dignity, in particular humiliating and degrading treatment."

Trent Lott says ruling is 'ridiculous' and that our enemies are laughing at us.
