On just two pages of my search engine I found about a dozen references to the June Supreme Court ruling on habeas corpus as a "landmark decision."
It wasn't a landmark decision. The landmark decision was made 220 years ago when it was put into the Constitution as the law of the land.
The latest ruling is not a decision. You can't decide what's already been decided. It is just the latest recognition by the Supreme Court that, yep, it's still in there and yep, it's the law of the land, just like it says, and yep, George Bush has violated the decided law of the land.
If there was any decision made, it was that last one.
