On the Supreme Court's 5-4 Ruling in Boumediene v. Bush Affording Certain Rights to Terrorist Detainees:

"It is difficult to single out the most outrageous aspect of Justice Anthony Kennedy's majority opinion in the Supreme Court's cataclysmic Boumediene ruling last Thursday: The reckless vesting of constitutional rights in aliens whose only connection with our body politic is their bloody jihad against Americans; the roughshod ride over binding precedent to accomplish that feat; or the smug arrogance perfectly captured by dissenting Chief Justice John Robert's description of a "constitutional bait and switch" "a Court that first beseeches the political branches to enact a statutory procedure for handling combatant detentions, and then, once a thoughtful law is compliantly passed, invalidates the effort for its failure to satisfy the eccentric predilections of five lawyers." -- Andrew C. McCarthy, Legal Commentator, Terrorism Expert and Former Federal Prosecutor

That some so-called libertarians are trumpeting this decision as a victory exposes a glaring intellectual weakness in that movement.
