5-4 ruling gives terrorists access to courts and Constitutional protection. Wouldn't it be nice if the Supreme Court cared as much about American's rights as it does those of terrorists??? CLICK HERE. This opinion raises more questions than it answers. CLICK HERE. If terrorists are captured on the battlefield, and are outside the defined protections of the Geneva Convention, does the ENTIRE Constitution of the U.S. apply to them?

Are they entitled to Miranda rights? In otherwords, since the soldiers who captured them presumably did not read them their rights, they are probably all going to be set free by liberal judges who will take pity on the poor darlings...just as they do with criminals who commit their crimes in this country.

Presumably they are entitled to have an attorney appointed for them, under the Constitutional protections that we apply to our own criminals. And I suspect that the chain of "evidence" that might have been gathered by troops in the middle of a firefight with these enemy combatants might not pass the muster of liberal judges in clean, well-lit courtrooms. By treating terrorists like common criminals, don't we return to the idea of investigating crimes like the attacks on 9-11 rather than PREVENTING them???

And what about BEFORE we capture the terrorists. Do U.S. soldiers have to announce themselves and give terrorists a chance to surrender and subject themselves to legal proceedings before we, for example, shoot a cruise missile into their encampment? Can we use drones to watch them without getting a search warrant? If they are entitled to Constitutional protections AFTER capture, why aren't they entitled to such protection BEFORE capture under the expansive application of the "Rule of Law" created by the Supremes today? Will every combat death of an enemy combatant now be subject to legal review and challenge in a court of law?

This ruling will certainly result in the deaths of more innocent Americans, and foreigners, and the blood is on the hands of the five Supremes who came up with this ludicrous opinion...as well as those who are cheering it!

If I had the slightest confidence that McCain would appoint Justices in the mold of Scalia, Alito and Roberts instead of Kennedy and Souter, this opinion alone might be enough to justify a vote for McCain.

More evidence that it is the Democrats blocking our access to our oil! All the Democrats voted no, all the Republicans voted yes. CLICK HERE. It can't get more clear than that!! Call the Democrats in Congress TODAY, especially Ben Chandler in Kentucky, at 202-224-3121 and tell them that America's energy independence begins at home! DRILL HERE, DRILL NOW!!! Democrats have a lot of excuses for not drilling, but Republicans need to offer solutions for NOW while we develop long term energy policies that will keep us competitive in the world marketplace! CLICK HERE.

Meanwhile, with gas prices moving past $4 a gallon, the Democrats in Congress spent four hours last night talking about impeaching President Bush thanks to lefty loon Dennis Kucinich. Nice set of priorities there! CLICK HERE. 

If McCain would only listen. But that is not his strong suit. CLICK HERE.

The Wall Street Journal notes that McCain's feckless approach to energy policy may cost him the election. CLICK HERE. McCain's tone deaf approach to a LOT of policies is what may cost him the election!
