Supreme Court Will Not Hear Gitmo Appeals

Aww, the poor terrorists.

A closely divided Supreme Court said on Monday it would not decide whether Guantanamo prisoners have the right to challenge their confinement before U.S. federal judges, avoiding a test of President George W. Bush's powers in the war on terrorism.

Over the dissent of three justices, the nation's high court said it would not rule on the constitutionality of part of an anti-terrorism law that Bush pushed through the U.S. Congress last year that takes away the right of the prisoners to get judicial review of their detention.

I hope this makes for a very bad day for our nation's enemies (looking your way, ACLU lawyers).
