An Astonishing Decision
—Hugh Hewitt
On June 12th, five members of the United States Supreme Court ruled that prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay are entitled to habeas corpus rights, which means that very soon a flood of lawsuits will hit the district courts of the United States from the hundreds of suspected and known terrorists held at the base of Cuba.
This astonishing decision--a direct rebuke to the Congress and the president which had jointly crafted the law held to be insufficiently protective of detainees' rights--has been vigorously endorsed by Barack Obama and condemned by John McCain.
Voters must keep in mind in November that Obama will certainly appoint more federal judges and Supreme Court justices committed to expanding terrorists' rights while John McCain will seek judges like Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito who voted against the majority.
