The big story for Fox News, this Sunday, was the perfidy of the New York Times.

The SCOTUS decision on the Guantanamo detainees wasn't so much treated as an after-thought than as part of the same subject - why are these people, liberals, the far left, Democrats, of whom the New York Times is the perfect embodiment, so determined to thwart all Bush administration efforts in the "War on Terror," which are only meant to protect Americans from the evil ones.

By "we," I mean all those Americans who still believe that our constitution is a source of our greatest strength.

The Hamdan decision is in. Nothing ambiguous about this ruling; here's how the Wa Po's lede describes it:

The Supreme Court today delivered a stunning rebuke to the Bush administration over its plans to try Guantanamo detainees before military commissions, ruling that the commissions violate U.S. law and the Geneva Conventions governing the treatment of war prisoners."

Just a note; not a lawyer, but I think the violation of the Geneva Conventions, being an international treaty agree to by an action of congress, is also a violation of our laws.

It was a bare majority; Justice Kennedy joined the Stevens-written majority decision. Roberts recused himself, since he had ruled in the same case, as an Appellate Judge, in the government's favor. Yeah, that's our new Chief Justice.

What Americans don't believe the constitution is our greatest protection from tyranny?

The ones who think it's our greatest weakness.

Not a majority of Americans, but a significant, if small minority, that includes this Republican congress, the entire Bush administration, most of the rest of the Republican party, Joe Lieberman, and all of the right-wing blogosphere.

You think I exaggerate? Let's look at some of the reactions on the right.
