Bush gets the "smack down!"

From WAPO (Read it all):

"For five years, President Bush waged war as he saw fit. If intelligence officers needed to eavesdrop on overseas telephone calls without warrants, he authorized it. If the military wanted to hold terrorism suspects without trial, he let it.

Now the Supreme Court has struck at the core of his presidency and dismissed the notion that the president alone can determine how to defend the country. In rejecting Bush's military tribunals for terrorism suspects, the high court ruled that even a wartime commander in chief must govern within constitutional confines significantly tighter than this president has believed appropriate."

Now of course, the strategy on The Right will be either to pooh pooh this as, "much ado about nothing," or "An outrage against a President only trying to protect us," depending on whatever Captain Ed and the Other BIG Right Wing Blogs say the spin should be.

At this point, honestly... I am far too busy to care. Bush got reigned in, its a good thing for the American people. Nuff said!
