"The Supreme Court delivered a mixed verdict Monday on the Bush administration's anti-terrorism policies, ruling that the U.S. government has the power to hold American citizens and foreign nationals without charges or trial, but that detainees can challenge their treatment in U.S. courts. "

But if they don't have charges, what are they supposed to be challenging? And what is their day in court if not a trial?

"Justice Sandra Day O'Connor (news - web sites) said the court has "made clear that a state of war is not a blank check for the president when it comes to the rights of the nation's citizens." "

Sounds like thats exactly what it is. But still, O'Connor's getting much more centrist these days.
