Who said it? - multiple choice

"One cannot help but think . . . this decision is not really about the detainees at all, but about control of federal policy regarding enemy combatants," he wrote.
He lamented that military and intelligence officials would have a lesser role in shaping policy toward enemy combatants than lawyers and "unelected, politically unaccountable judges."

a) President Bush
b) Vice President Cheney
c) Robert Novak
d) Chief justice Roberts

Sad, but true. It was Roberts.

Antonin Scalia chimed in:
Scalia called the judiciary "the branch that knows least about . . . national security concerns" and penned the darkest line of the court's 126 pages of back-and-forth: "It will almost certainly cause more Americans to be killed."

Clearly, these right wing justices, Bush appointees, are more eager to defer to the president than they are concerned with upholding the Constitution. Who joined Roberts and Scalia in the minority? Alito and Clarence (remember him?) Thomas. Scary that these fascista are one vote away from a majority.

Compare their "Sieg Heil's" to Justice Kennedy's poignant observation that a primary purpose of the constitution and the court is to protect people fom illegal imprisonment by the government. That Kennedy even had to point that out is an indication of the threat to our democracy that the Bush appointees represent.

Regretably, Bush was elected by good Christian folks so he could appoint pro-life justices. How you doing with that abortion thing John, Antonin?
