Right on time

So I type up an article on the Supreme Court ... about the ridiculous gyrations we now have to go through when the kooks decide to start interjecting their own agendas ... and the next day we get what could be the whackiest ruling of them all.

I am not even so sure this is a liberal vs. conservative thing ... outside of the fact that the deranged wing (liberals) were the ones that actually carried the day. In this case, the "agenda" was something like "we cannot just leave people in limbo indefinitely ... in the terrorists case it will likely be forever" ... so these judges had to force something. What was AMAZING to me, was that these clowns actually pulled the Geneva Conventions into this ...

you know ... I need to qualify that ... because this is so la-la goofy that I am now beginning to doubt what I think I know about Geneva. My understanding ... seemingly confirmed by EVERYBODY I have ever heard talk on the subject, liberal or otherwise ... is that the conventions only apply to something that can be recognized as a fighting force ... uniformed, and conforming to rules. Everybody I have ever heard talk about the terrorists seems to have validated that they totally violated the Conventions on just about every front ... even pro-terrorist liberals at least acknowledge these violations but insist we grant the terrorists the Conventions regardless, out of the goodness of our heart (nevermind the fact that the terrorist would carve out their heart given the chance).

... so now these justices talk about how Americans are violating the conventions when it comes to the terrorists if we subject them to tribunals.

Wow!!! OK ... looks like we have dozens of issues there ... but let's focus on the RADICAL POWER GRAB ...

Did the Supreme Court unilaterally declare that the combatants qualified for the conventions? Exactly what was the authority that gave them that power?

Did the Supreme Court, both in violation of precedence AND US LAW (other two branches of government) ... make itself SUPREME OVERSEER of military / foreign affairs?

... I could do more ... but I really want to hit that point.

The legislative branch passed a law, and the administration signed it ... CO-EQUAL WITH THE SUPREME COURT ... that said that the Court has no jurisdiction in these matters. The Court specifically ignored it. Now at this point I am wondering ... and nobody seems to be talking about it ... this is in fact a Constitutional crises, is it not? One branch of government has effectively and unilaterally declared itself superior to the other two.

I am not real sure the legal and Constitutional ramifications of this ... but are the Congress and Administration not obligated to "set aside" or "ignore" this ruling? I mean ... they passed the law, and the Court ignored it ... exactly who is it that limits the Court?

Food for thought ... Osama is a happy guy today. He literally has been successful in mastering an indirect overthrow of the US Government.

OK ... but the original article was about the gyrations resulting from the goofy rulings. So let's look at that.

What if the other branches just said "Screw you?" to the Court coup? What could the court do? Free the prisoners? On who's orders (the President is Commander, and the prisoners are held by the military)? Would they swim to Cuba and unlock the doors themselves? And what would they do with the prisoners? The court cannot send them anywhere ... they have no means to do so.

More seriously though ... if this carries forward, and if the terrorists get some kind of good treatment out of this, the unintended consequences will be catastrophic on all sides ... you will literally force the military to annihilate everybody that could even look like they might be a combatant. This would force the terrorists' hand as well ... as they have done to us by brutallizing and murdering our captive soldiers (no American soldier will ever allow himself to be taken alive again). Every fight will be to total annihilation.

This is nuts.
