Of course he won’t do that so seeking another Congressional override of government by unprecedented judicial fiat is his only recourse. With Democrats in control of Congress, that’s far from a certainty since many have already shown they aren’t on our side.
One has to wonder what motivates that group of four leftist judges, plus “moderate” Kennedy, to attempt to cripple America’s security by extending constitutional rights to non-citizen, prisoner-of-war terrorist suspects.
