WASHINGTON D.C. Republican presidential candidate John McCain sharply denounced a Supreme Court decision that gave suspected terrorist detainees a right to seek their release in federal courts.
" I think it's one of the worst decisions in history. " McCain said. "It opens up a whole new chapter and interpretation of our constitution."
McCain is one of the authors of the 2006 Military Commisions Act which set up proceedures for the handling of detainees. The act denied the detainees access to federal courts.
McCain attacked the decision, saying the law he helped write made it clear that these are enemy combatants, they are not citizens, they do not have the rights of citizens.
What happened yesterday was unprecedented, Americans are going to be shocked to find that the mastermind of Sept. 11th, Khalid Sheikh mohammed now has the same legal standing as an American citizen.
I think the American Supreme Court is in the same catagory as the A.C.L.U. Maybe we should DISBAND both of them..
