Feingold Exults At Hamdan Decision

Per a statement from Sen. Russ Feingold:

"The Supreme Court’s decision concerning military commissions at Guantanamo Bay is a major rebuke to an Administration that has too often disregarded the rule of law. It is a testament to our system of government that the Supreme Court has stood up against this overreaching by the executive branch."

King George the Decider's response will be to ignore the SC ruling anyway.
