Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Radical Islam

On Thursday, June 12th, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in favor of radical Islam, 5-4.

They ruled that the rights endowed in the Constitution are also inherient in the Islamic militants and can be extended to them in a time of war.

These rights are INHERIENT in the citizens of this country, the United States of America. Hense, the constitution of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. It does not mean that we have to pass these rights on to enemey combats of a foreign country, fighthing in a WAR. What do you think is going to happen to these miltiants once they are extradited back to their home lands, i.e Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afganistan? They will be immediately shot, be headed or actually tortured. They are much better off in Guantanamo Bay then a Islamic Gulag.

Congress cannot "suspend" habeas corpus by denying it to people who have no right to it in the first place. The right against suspension of habeas corpus is found in the Constitution (art. I, 9). Constitutional rights belong only to Americans — that is, according to the Supreme Court, U.S. citizens and those aliens who, by lawfully weaving themselves into the fabric of our society, have become part of our national community (which is to say, lawful permanent resident aliens). To the contrary, aliens with no immigration status who are captured and held outside the territorial jurisdiction of the United States, and whose only connection to our country is to wage a barbaric war against it, do not have any rights, much less "basic rights," under our Constitution.

When eight Nazi saboteurs were rounded up after being dropped off on Long Island by a German submarine in 1942, after all, they were not treated like domestic criminal defendants. They were tried by a military commission; six were promptly shot.

Furthermore, The Constitution mandates three co-equal branches of government. It does not mandate that the Supreme Court is the Supreme branch. That right was claimed by John Marshal in Marbury v. Madison.The Constitution clearly makes the President the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, giving Congress the power of the purse, which can serve as a check on the Executive’s power to wage war. The Supreme Court has no dog in that particular hunt.The President should, as Jackson so famously did, ignore the decision as one with no authority over the conduct of war. If we had a President whose guts matched his rhetoric and swagger, this is what would happen.
