The Supremes!

The Supremes slapped El Presidente right in the kisser today by saying:

President Bush overstepped his authority in ordering military war crimes
trials for Guantanamo Bay detainees, saying ... that the trials were illegal
under U.S. and international law.

It was a broad defeat for the government, which two years ago suffered a
similar loss when the high court held the president lacked authority to seize
and detain terrorism suspects and indefinitely deny them access to courts or
lawyers.


Can you guess what's coming next? Here's the headline "Bush says the Supreme Court is overrun with Activist Judges". Well that's ALWAYS the answer right? Those 'Activist Judges' are at it again...protecting human and civil rights.

No doubt a proposal will be put forward for an Amendment to the Constitution outlawing the Supreme Court and permitting unlimited Presidential Authority in any matter even remotely related to the war on terror.

Or maybe the VEEP will just invite the Activist Supremes to accompany him on his next hunting trip.
