(Please forgive the horrible fake Latin.)
The US Supreme Court has ruled 5-4 that the Bush administration does not have the right to detain prisoners indefinitely without charges at Guantnamo. While it’s frightening that four justices would actually vote against something that’s been a legal human right since the Magna Carta, it’s still a victory, and those of us who have watched in disapproval what our current crop of leaders have done to this country have to take what we can get.
Who knows, maybe some day, actual American citizens will have their Habeus Corpus rights restored as well?
