SCOTUS Rules on Guantanamo trials

The Supreme Court has ruled against the administration regarding military tribunals for Guantanamo detainees. Waiting for more.

AP (Via Fox News):

The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that President Bush overstepped his authority in ordering military war crimes trials for Guantanamo Bay detainees, a rebuke to the administration and its aggressive anti-terror policies.

Justice John Paul Stevens wrote the opinion, which said the proposed trials were illegal under U.S. law and Geneva conventions.

President Bush has scheduled a news conference for 11:30 (ET)
