Bush Administration Defies Supreme Court

Bush continues to show his disdain for the rule of law -- he's above it, don't you remember? On Friday, USA Today reported that the Bush administration is arguing against all logic that the Supreme Court ruling that said the detainees in Cuba have a right to contest their detentions don't really have any rights at all. Bush is insisting those prisoners have "no legal rights," especially the right to counsel.

Attorney for the detainees wrote, "One would never know that this case had just been to the Supreme Court of the United States, where the government made -- and lost -- virtually the same arguments it now recycles here."

Yes, Bush is refusing to abide by a ruling of the Supreme Court. This should be a much bigger issue, since Bush has a pattern of ignoring the law of the land. A U.S. District Judge in DC plans to hear arguments on Monday.
