First comes the U.S. Supreme Court’s Guantanamo detainee decision. Next, and not to be outdone, comes a Canadian judge with a decision freeing this detainee. How long before the internationalists on the U.S. Supreme Court agree that American children deserve the same rights under some penumbra of our Constitution as are recognized by the great Dominion of the North? Perhaps Justice Kennedy can concoct a “functional test” related to the “right to travel” that the Court has discovered. Indeed, if foreign terrorists trying to kill us, and captured and held outside the U.S., enjoy the protections of the Great Writ of habeas corpus, how much stronger is the case for little domestic terrorizers just trying to annoy us, and captured and held within our very houses?
