Democrat politicians are ecstatic over the Supreme Court decision giving unlawful enemy combatants rights that illegal aliens don’t even have. It makes sense. Democrats in Washington have undermined our war efforts at every turn and this helps that effort. Now that our surge has subdued terrorists in Iraq, Nancy Pelosi has given credit to the Iranians for their “goodwill.” The other fabulous liberal leader, Harry Reid can say the war is lost, be contradicted by subsequent events over the last year, and go merrily on his way to his next treasonous statement without consequence.

            If democrats were true to themselves, their campaign theme this year and every year would not be “Yes we can” or other such inanities, it would be “See you in court” or “Let the courts decide”. Therein lies the hope for all leftist causes. Same sex marriage? Only the courts will favor that. Let illegals in? Take it to court. Obama was quite happy with the giving the terrorists American citizen rights. When he is president he will return us to the law enforcement mentality of the Clinton administration against terrorists that encouraged ongoing attacks. Is that “change”? Or is it going back to the “old failed policies?

Five black robes overturned 220 years of precedence. This includes a 1950 unanimous decision by FDR appointees on this very question of enemy combatants’ rights. Hey, whatever happened to “stare decisis?” Remember how the democrats were so exercised over their precious abortion sacrament that they questioned Roberts and Alito endlessly on upholding precedence in Roe v Wade, as we were educated in legal terms as “stare decisis”. Well Roberts and Alito followed it here. But the dirty little secret is leftists on courts never follow it unless it suits them. Not in Massachussetts. Not in California. Not when it comes to eminent domain. They make it up as they go and usurp power in every possible way. This case and the illegal immigrant case also decided wrongly this week should never been heard by the court. The court has no standing to interfere as the coherent dissents rightly opined.

Now we are facing a spectacle. Terrorists will have to be presumed innocent. Then they will plead not guilty by reason of insanity. Perfectly plausible. Here was the first mistake. We allowed attorneys into Club Gitmo. They belong there about as much as they belong in professional sports.
