No HabCo at GitMo Tom Smith

(It may take me a while to get back into the swing of post titles.)  In any event, this appears to be a highly amusing case, so much so it may even be worth reading.  Supreme Court says Congress must pass law for X to be the case.  Congress passes law saying “X”.  Lower court says “X is the law.”  Of course, there is a dissent: “X is unconstitutional!”  I love it when things are simple.  Maybe Congress should make laws instead of the Courts? Nahhhh.
