Way overdue : Comments on Supreme Court in the War on Terror

Way back when there was a ruling that the lefties applauded ... oooohhhh, big surprise there! It had to do with the Geneva conventions and terrorists and all that.

Remember? Sorry it took so long to reply ... like I said ... busy busy busy. However, I scribbled down some notes and was in the middle of my desk cleanup ... so here goes.

But I interrupt that thought for a "higher thought" ... as a conservative ... we have been brutalized (better stated ... allowed ourselves to be brutalized) by the liberal goofs and their media alliances. To wit ... most of our "leaders" ... ahem ... were the ones we could 'slip by' the democraps. Therefore ... we end up with these worthless chumps ... Frist, Hastert, McCain, et al ... while staunch conservatives ala Gingrich, Delay, etc. have been trashed. THAT is also why we have the ridiculous supreme court that we have today DESPITE THE FACT THAT REPUBLICANS HAVE SELECTED MOST OF THE MEMBERS.

As long as we continue to allow our enemies to pick our leaders, we will continue down this path. We (conservatives) need great leaders, but WE MUST BE DETERMINED TO STAND BEHIND THEM!

OK ... back to the original topic. This abomination of a ruling should never have happened ... the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction in the matter. There is a good reason for that ... the Court cannot rule in international / foreign affairs matters ... because in theory only one party in the matter is bound to abide by the court ... namely the US government. Terrorists and rouge dictators could give a hoot if THEY are on the losing side of a Supreme Court ruling (of course, the terrorists, like their allies the Democraps, are overjoyed when the Court rules in favor of terrorists).

However, there are two greater points here ... the Court rules that the US Government must grant priveledged status according to a treaty, despite the fact that the treaty specifically bans those combatants from having that status (terrorists are not protected specifically because they hide in and target civilians ... DUH ... they are terrorists!). Even more ridiculous is the fact that the US Government is being told to abide by a convention that is way too vague. If Congress were to ever pass a law this vague, it would be thrown out before the ink was dry.

The elephant in the living room, however, is that our enemies in this battle have no intent to ever abide by any conventions, regardless. This is exactly why we don't run international affairs in accordance with the "black and white" letter of the law in the Courts.
