10. Naw, he'd only need 2
No need to be too obvious about it. I would hope that if he did that, any nominations would be held off until after the election.

4. What's he going to do? Bomb Washington?
Frankly, the thing I fear he will do is defy the ruling using some legal reasoning devised by the shyster Addington.

2. You spit up in the air,

He's hit the wall. Party's over.

So, I guess it's time to hit Iran, huh?

5. There was a post earlier....comments from our freeper friends.
One of the comments was this beauty:

Bush should just defy the Supreme Court!

With logic like that, how do you even find the bathroom?

11. He will defy the SCOTUS. Who's going to stop him?
Pelosi has taken impeachment off the table. Only Congress can stop him, but they refuse to.

:grr:

6. Checkmate
He has sworn to uphold and defend the Constitution (no matter what). And if he doesn't, there's the most obvious reason to impeach the little twirp.

12. They cannot
The Supremes cited 'constitutional right' which trumps any law they try.
If Bushco attempt to violate this one, W and Dick will be impeached.

13. That's what Bush is saying in Italy. "They will pass a new law."
If they pass a new law. That law has to go before SCOTUS to be struck down. It's just a patch. But it could work to allow this to continue.

20. Sorry he's a lame lame duck now
Too late.

here's the BBC report
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7451139.stm
<snip>
Foreign suspects held in Guantanamo Bay have the right to challenge their detention in US civilian courts, the US Supreme Court has ruled.

In a major legal setback for the Bush administration, the court overturned by five to four a ruling upholding a 2006 law which removed such rights.

It is not clear if the ruling will lead to prompt hearings for the detainees.

Some 270 men are held at the US naval base, on suspicion of terrorism or links to al-Qaeda and the Taleban.

US President George W Bush said he would abide by the court's ruling even if he did not agree with it.

Human rights groups have welcomed the move, Amnesty International saying it was an "essential step forward towards the restoration of the rule of law".
