Apparently The Constitution Is A Suicide Pact After All

|
Finally got around to reading Hamdan. All is not lost (not by a long shot), but Oy. Can someone please explain the difference between a military tribunal (bad) and a court martial (acceptable)?

UPDATE: Let's have no more Lefty whining about breaking precedent. See Justice Thomas' dissent for a list of precedents older than Roe that the Court didn't scruple to wipe away. And a reader at NRO has the pithiest response to the decision:
summary battlefield executions.


UPDATE 2: Read John Eastman's take down of the decision here. Note also his call for calm. In spite of the drive-by media's breathless efforts to paint Hamdan as a serious rebuke to Bush, it's no such thing. I say Bush should ignore it, as Lincoln ignored Dred Scot.
