Your Honor, I don’t know spit about lawyerin’, but my understanding of war and the rules of war is, enemy soldiers and combatants have no rights under the American legal system. We demonstrated this by executing German spies and saboteurs during WW2.
As bizarre as it sounds to the uninitiated, wars have rules, even if they’re often ignored.
A few I can think of offhand:
* “You” can’t shoot at enemy paratroopers in the air unless they’re shooting at you.
* You can’t smear fecal matter on a bayonet to cause infection/spread disease.
* You can’t fire on hospital ships.
* You can’t use vehicle-destroying hardware on enemy foot soldiers (Timothy McVeigh allegedly took the head off an Iraqi soldier with a tank shell in Gulf War 1.)
* No use of chemical or biological weapons permitted.
* Lasers may not be used to physically blind enemy troops.
Foreign terrorists (aka Gitmo detainees/suspects) and their organizations are not recognized by any official body or country, therefore not even international rules of engagement apply to them, much less American laws.
Imagine if Syria or Iran said, “Yeah, those guys that tried to attack New York are ours.” At our discretion we would then return these enemy soldiers to the giant glass craters formerly known as Syria and Iran.
The Supreme Court hasn’t been interpreting law so much as writing it, which ain’t their job. They’ve been out of control now for over 50 years. The other two branches, cowards that they are, have accepted this unlawful expansion of Court power because when packed with a few more guys from their side of the aisle, they themselves can get away with more. It’s easy for the other branches to openly hide behind the Supremes, who are apparently incapable of being punished, certainly not by the people.
Supreme Idiocy: just one more chapter in the unfolding history of the Second American Civil War.
