WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that foreign terrorism suspects held at Guantanamo Bay have rights under the Constitution to challenge their detention in U.S. civilian courts.
Please be more specific. What's unbelievable about it?

Mac, it's the equivalent of saying "did you HEAR about this ?". It's a way to start a conversation without actually stating an opinion on the topic. Conversationally sneaky, IMHO.
My opinion on the finding ? It's about time it got clarified. The "rights" of non-citizens are always tough to consider, but SCOTUS took the high road in this case.
Unlike the UK, which just extended the time limit for habeas corpus to 42 days. (I love the raucous nature of the House of Commons- it made for great NPR audio this morning).

Suzanne,
I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well. You might want to blow your nose on this:

The consitution is not a new world order for the whole world.
It wasn't then and it shouldn't be now.
Guantanamo shouldn't exist.
At least not with a U.S. flag flying solely over it.

I see your Constitution and raise a certain Declaration of Independence:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Sorry. 'Didn't see the expression on your face when you said it.

Sorry billb, can you spell it out for me?
It sounds like you're saying that these captives should not be judged by the standards of the consitution, and that they should.

Now where are the Democrats going to lock up all those Republicans they arrest after the election? They'll wish the Supreme Court hadn't ruled on this one yet. lol
