Supreme Danger: Boumediene v. Bush
- FEATURED: “President” Kennedy - Wall Street Journal
“Boumediene concerns habeas corpus – the right of Americans to challenge detention by the government. Justice Kennedy has now extended that right to non-American enemy combatants captured abroad trying to kill Americans in the war on terror. We can say with confident horror that more Americans are likely to die as a result…” - WSJ
- FEATURED: ‘Special Report’ Panel on Supreme Court Ruling - Fox News
“We heard Senator Graham say that Americans will be surprised to learn that Al Qaeda has more rights than Nazis. Well, they will be shocked when they learn that al- Qaeda has more rights than a poor Mexican landscaper picked up on a sweep of illegal aliens in America. This is not just perverse. The arrogance of this decision is astonishing. It overturns — it proudly says that for the first time ever it is granting the rights of habeas corpus to enemy aliens who are not on American soil. It overturns a 1950 decision, which, in and of itself, had said that in all of American history this right had never been accepted or recognized, and before that, in all of the British common laws. So this is an invention…” - Charles Krauthammer
- FEATURED: The European Model (Really) - WSJ
“It has been nearly seven years without a major terrorist attack on American soil. Europeans have not been so lucky (though they’ve had several lucky escapes). Maybe that’s why they’re becoming more “American” in taking a hard line on terrorists, even as America’s own Supreme Court moves in the opposite direction.”
- FEATURED: Taking the War to the Dems - Charles Krauthammer
“The disconnect between what Democrats are saying about Iraq and what is actually happening there has reached grotesque proportions.” - Krauthammer
