The Supremes

[...] Letâ€™s start out with the impeccable Rick Moran who posts with HAMDAN COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED in which he states If the Court insists that the US government should be following the Geneva convention while all these years the Administration has been practicing interrogation techniques that are now deemed in violation of that Convention, doesnâ€™t that leave the President and the Secretary of Defense liable for their decisions in this regard and make them vulnerable to to prosecution by the World Court?

Aric:

I realize how hard it is for you to comprehend, but disagreement is welcome on this site - as long as its intelligent and thoughtful.

This, of course, lets you out as you are neither intelligent or carry a single thought in your empty head.

The author of this blog has committed the greatest crime - questioning the authority of Dear Leader and look how his fellow right-wingers turn on him. You either always agree or you are a want the terrorists to win! Where is your loyalty?

If Bush falls in this global battle, our country is truly doomed. It will be the end of the Executive’s power to defend our nation, and the legislature is incapable of addressing issues of any importance, much less issues of defense.

The sad thing is, half the populace would cheer.

Bush a war criminal??? give me a break. It is probably not much fun for anyone to be taken as a POW, but they are treated ok. Our guys get their heads cut off.

Rick, you could not be more wrong. Closing down Gitmo will not end the Arab voices proclaiming, “Oppression, oppression!” The ACLU will not stop harping about the “discrimination” or “social justice” or the latest anti-American fad even if every terrorist in Gitmo were given a fair and impartial trial by jury. They would simply find another stick with which to beat the United States.

The very core of this matter is that either we are morally justified in holding enemy combatants as long as there is an enemy, or we are not. I believe that not only are we justified in doing so, but it would be criminally neglectful for a sitting president during a war to believe otherwise. Perhaps the Legislative and Executive branches have not satisfactorily worked out the details of these barbariansâ€™ confinement, but they are both agreed that they should be confined. If the high court demands that these savages deserve the same privileges as civilized men, the Executive branch has a duty to a higher law â€“ far older than any international law â€“ than the Supreme Court. If Stevens, Kennedy, Souter, Ginsburg, and Breyer cannot see the common sense in that, well then, I hope that Bush has the common sense to tell them to pound sand.

Dennis Prager: “As is true of most the Left’s values, this ideal of favoring the little guy in a courtroom runs directly counter to a basic Judeo-Christian value. Exodus 23:3 expressly prohibits it: “Do not favor the poor man in his grievance.” - “The Left hates inequality, not injustice”

C.S. Lewis: “Only liberal societies tolerate Pacifists. In the liberal society, the number of Pacifists will either be large enough to cripple the state as a belligerent, or not. If not, you have done nothing. If it is large enough, then you have handed over the state which does tolerate Pacifists to its totalitarian neighbor who does not. Pacifism of this kind is taking the straight road to a world in which there will be no Pacifists.” - “Why I am not a Pacifist”
