Let's hear it for these five great American jurists!

Yay Supreme Court! Yay another smack down for of the illegal and immoral way the Bush junta has treated prisoners! Let's hope the US Congress does not cave in and try to pass a law that takes away prisoners rights again.

Those men in Gitmo and other US backed prisons worldwide are not my or your enemy. They are the enemy of the far religious right and their corporate pay masters and the reason they should have the same rights as you or I do in the US courts is that all people no matter who they are deserve equal protection in our courts. That's one of the many reasons why people want to come to this country. If the Bush junta, or whichever corporate approved cabal is in power, can take away your rights by labeling you as an enemy combatant then what's to stop them from calling any one of us who disagrees with them an enemy combatant? Now a little thing called thousands of years of legal precedent is stopping them and so is this Supreme Court decision as well.

As I said, those men who Bush/Cheney/Blackwater/Amway/WalMart want to keep in prison forever are not my enemy. My enemy is anyone who makes war on innocent people just so multi national corporations can take over their countries. My enemy is any multi national corporation that works hand in glove with the thugs who run the governments that help them take over countries. My enemy is any religious extremist, be they Christian, Muslim, Jew, Hindu, etc. My enemy is anyone who denies any man or woman their basic human rights and who oppresses any other human.

So let's hear it for five out of nine Supreme Court Justices. And for those former Hillary supporters out there who are dead set on voting for McCain, I'd like to remind you that Bush McCain will nominate justices just like the four who voted to take away those prisoners rights, and by extension your rights as well. So you embittered people remember that come election day.

Bush McCain also has a ZERO voting record on NARAL's pro-choice scorecard over the last 8 years! That's outrageous. Per the Huffington Post.

In April, he failed to vote on the Equal Pay Bill.

You can check out McCain's voting record on any issue here.

Hillary supporters thinking about voting for McCain need to seriously re-think what it would mean not only for the next 8 years, but also the next generation and the generation after that.

i read today that mccain also said he and cheney thought alike and said he might like to have him in a mcain whitehouse in some fashion.

We need 11 justices now to marginalize the 4 buttheads. It can be done by legislation; last time there was an attempt was legislation introduced by FDR in 1937.

Let's do it again!

Don't worry, Monkey--by November, after watching McFossil talk endless war, the wonders of torture, keeping Darth Cheney around, and the like, the Hillary supporters will fall in line behind Obama. Just think of it--4-1/2 months of Calm, Cool, and Statesmanlike Obama versus McInsane. It'll be a fucking blowout.
