Judge Extends Legal Rights for Guantánamo Detainees

"Although this nation unquestionably must take strong action under the leadership of the commander in chief to protect itself against enormous and unprecedented threats," the judge wrote, "that necessity cannot negate the existence of the most basic fundamental rights for which the people of this country have fought and died for well over 200 years."

Right on Judge Green. This is a continuation of the broader context of legal decisions being handed down by an unquestionably conservative Supreme Court. Even in a time of war, even when we face unusual, shapeless threats - we have to preserve the foundations of liberty.
