On Thursday June 12, 2008, a narrow five-member majority struck down the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005, the so-called military tribunals' law.This law was passed by Congress to set up procedures for the legal treatment of unlawful enemy combatants in order to prevent terrorists from flooding our federal courts.Not only does the decision in the case, Boumediene v. Bush, run contrary to precedent and the Constitution, but it is yet another dangerous example of the judiciary usurping the constitutional authority of the political branches of government.

New Study Exposes the “Terrorist Get Out of Jail Free Card”
In a report released today by the American Civil Rights Union, best-selling author and terrorism expert Richard Miniter demonstrates how a 1969 Supreme Court ruling is being used to get terrorists off scot-free–an extremely pertinent issue, given today’s ruling by the Supreme Court that Guantanamo Bay detainees are allowed access to civilian courts.

From the San Diego Union Tribune:
The issue is whether fertility physicians at North Coast Women’s Care in Vista discriminated against a lesbian couple from Oceanside when they cited religious beliefs in refusing to perform artificial insemination….
…That group says this is a “potentially landmark, historic case” that will decide the scope of religious freedom in the state constitution.
The ACRU filed an amicus brief on this case, arguing that a doctor has the right to refuse […]
