"Justice Stevens declared flatly that "the military commission at issue lacks the power to proceed because its structure and procedure violate" both the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which governs the American military's legal system, and the Third Geneva Convention.The majority opinion rejected the administration's claims that the tribunals were justified both by President Bush's inherent powers as commander in chief and by the resolution passed by Congress authorizing the use of force after the Sept. 11. There is nothing in the resolution's legislative history "even hinting" that such an expansion of the president's powers was considered, he wrote."* btw - the decision was 5-3. ten bux says you can name the three with your eyes closed. (roberts wasnt playing)

There's a difference between wanting a loser to win the Rethuglican nomination so that they can lose, versus wanting a loser like Harris to actually win the Senate seat. If she can't figure that out, it just proves her status as a loser.
