A Conservative Supreme Court

Just did to Our Dear Leader President Bush something that would have been unthinkable when Supreme justice Roberts was seated and when Sandra day O'Connor left. Pres. Bush was able to seat yet another Conservative Justice. Liberals every where wore sack cloth and lamented the end of an era where there was just enough liberal thought on the Supreme Court to be view with suspicion on the conservatives side.

After all it was "liberal" court that had enacted the Roe vs Wade. My oh my it looks like President Bush wont be able to continue without getting impeached. You may ask how?

The Supreme Court just handed President Bush the strongest rebuke yet. Forget the Democrats taking Both Houses people. We The People had our say. It did give our Dear Leader a momentary pause. But then it was just going to be business as usual after all The America an public hadn't turned him out.

With the broad powers at his finger tips There was no way he could be impeached. Even the new Speaker to be wasn't about to try and that. So believing he was bullet proof and with the various Spy programs in place he still had a free hand. Right?

Wrong and oh so wrong. To whit the military tribunal in the words of the majority of justices
"Majority quote: "We conclude that the military commission convened to try Hamdan lacks power to proceed because its structure and procedures violate both the (Uniform Code of Military Justice) and the Geneva Conventions." -- Justice John Paul Stevens"

Though one Justice remembered who was his boss. That being Justice Clarence Thomas.
Minority quote: "Our duty to defer to the executive's military and foreign policy judgment is at its zenith; it does not countenance the kind of second-guessing the court repeatedly engages in today." -- Justice Clarence Thomas.

So not all is lost. There exists possibly three Justices that might side with Our Dear Leader President Bush. And if the Supreme Justice Roberts can be brought to heel. Why this fiasco might get turned around on a different argument, but don't count on it.

The Majority opinion has made it clear that this Administration has over stepped its bounds and should be reined in. Now President Bush little team of bright minds will have to figure out a legal way to circumnavigate both the Geneva Convention. Oh wait we don't really believe in that so problem there. The U.C.M.J. ? The military will do what it is told. Maybe. Under Herr Rumsfeld it would have been an almost certainty.

Today the Generals might just tell President Bush to take a hike. Well not in those words, but close enough.

If you bother to read down the list of cases. The Justices did not, I repeat did not, strike down Roe vs Wade. From the list it would be apparent that the Supreme Court is doing the same business with maybe nodding ever so slightly in the favor of state and the individual.

As in the case of the assisted Suicide that Oregon made legal the Justices found for the state. A sharp rebuke to the Attorney General. Though there was some losses for sure Evidently our free speech is not protected while in the work place. So mind what you say....

But in all it is what I would call a Supreme Court that might be a little to the right, but is still handing down Judgment that tries to be within the law and Constitution.
