The Courts vs Bush

Much to my surprise, this was a pretty good day for the anti-Bush crowd. He was smacked down by a federal appeals court that ruled he did not have the right to declare an American citizen to be an "enemy combatant" and hold him without access to an attorney or to the normal constitutional protections we assume all citizens have the rights to. Despite Bush's claims, he has been denied the right to keep prisoners such as Jose Padillio in solitary confinement, without charges, without access to an attorney or to any member of their family.
