By Jim Lynch on Jun 29, 2006 in SCOTUS, War on Terrorism
The Supreme Court has ruled against the administration regarding military tribunals for Guantanamo detainees. Waiting for more.
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)
