Justices say Bush went too far at Guantanamo
5-3 ruling in one of biggest presidential powers' cases since World War II

"The vote was split 5-3, with moderate Justice Anthony M. Kennedy joining the court's liberal members in ruling against the Bush administration. Chief Justice John Roberts, named to the court last September by Bush, was sidelined in the case because as an appeals court judge he had backed the government over Hamdan."

High court blocks Gitmo military tribunals

"Chief Justice John Roberts did not participate in the Hamdan case. He had ruled against the government last year when the case was argued in a lower federal appeals court."

4. Nice catch - CNN has corrected the piece

Chief Justice John Roberts did participate in the case because he ruled on the case, in favor of the government, at the appellate level.

The MSNBC link was to an AP article.

5. They've changed it again

So much for the "Most Trusted Name in News", ya think? :eyes:

Chief Justice John Roberts did not vote, recusing himself because he ruled on the case at the appellate level.
