IBD: 'Supreme Court: In a historic first, the right to habeas corpus has been bestowed upon prisoners of war — in wartime. Five justices gave terrorists a new weapon to kill more Americans with: our own Constitution.'

It "will make the war harder on us," [Justice Antonin] Scalia declared, reading from the bench. "It will almost certainly cause more Americans to be killed."

THE ENEMY WITHIN
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not traitor, he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared.”
— Marcus Tullius Cicero, Roman orator and statesman, circa 45 B.C.

The kind of whining, hate-America, blame-America liberal thinking that is destroying Europe as we speak, will destroy America in short order.
We're being undermined at every level!
A SCOTUS ruling is untouchable. No recourse. Can we even get these black-robed fools off the bench?
Always On Watch,
The best way to get those black robed fools off the bench is to support conservative republicans who will appoint strict constructionist judges, than over time as the old justices of the supreme court retire or die off, the ideological make up of the court will change. That is our most viable option.
Imagine if we have a President Obama.
Pastorius,
You said,
"Imagine if we have a President Obama"
I hope we don't have to find out.
I've been writing since 2004 that I didn't think the Republicans would win the Presidencey in 2008.
The reason?
Hubris.
The Republicans never seem to understand what it is the public likes about them. And thus, they squander their advantages, and play up their weaknesses.
That's my opinion.
