Constitution Makeover

WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that foreign terrorism suspects held at Guantanamo Bay have rights under the Constitution to challenge their detention in U.S. civilian courts

Scalia said the nation is "at war with radical Islamists" and that the court's decision "will make the war harder on us. It will almost certainly cause more Americans to be killed

It almost certainly will. What I don't understand is why this got to the Supreme Court in the first place? How is it that our enemies can even get a hearing before the highest court in OUR land?

And then there's this:

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court made it easier Monday for some foreigners who overstay their visas to seek to remain in the United States legally.

Now I read the story, and I understand why this guy from Nigeria or really anywhere else in the world would want to stay here. I don't blame him, and if it was up to me I would help him stay. However, it's not up to me and it's not supposed to be up to Justice Kennedy or Ginsburg either. The U.S. Constitution is the final arbiter and the constitution says he must go, or at least he has no right to stay.
