The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Monday that an American captured overseas in President Bush's war on terrorism cannot be held indefinitely in a U.S. military jail without a chance to contest the detention.

Four of the nine justices concluded that constitutional due process rights demand that a citizen held in the United States as an enemy combatant must be given "a meaningful opportunity" to contest case for his detention before a neutral party.

Finally...but what the fuck are those other 5 judges thinking? The part of our government that comes up with bullshit like this (holding citizens, or anyone for that matter) without their right to due process might as well be wearing wigs and red coats, demanding the use of our houses to barracks troops.

Jesus: it's terrible that current events keep reminding me of all the things King George did to start the revolution.

Next thing you know, we're going to have to pay for all this war'ing. Tax cuts my ass.
