Gitmo prisoners will finally get their day in court...

Yesterday the Supreme Court handed down a greatly welcomed and long overdue decision which guarantees habeas corpus protections to Guantanamo detainees. Here are a few choice quotes from Antonin Scalia's dissenting opinion.

"America is at war with radical Islamists. … Our Armed Forces are now in the field against the enemy, in Afghanistan and Iraq."

"The game of bait-and-switch that today’s opinion plays upon the Nation’s Commander in Chief will make the war harder on us. It will almost certainly cause more Americans to be killed."

"Today the Court warps our Constitution."

"The Nation will live to regret what the Court has done today."

What a bitter, sad, fear-plagued world it is that Scalia lives in. I almost feel sorry for the guy. Maybe he'll do us all a favor, by taking early retirement and spending the rest of his living hiding in a cave.
