Justices Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas also dissented.Now, I'm not arguing the point (I could, but not now). But what the fuck does this have to do with the constitutional argument of what the government is allowed to do in wartime--y'know, the argument that the Supreme Court is empowered to and supposed to decide? I'm well aware that Antonin Scalia basically believes that the morally reprehensible show 24 provides a basis for whatever the government wants to do. He constantly references the War on Terror in opinions such as these, and he seems to labor under the impression that it is the Court's job to ensure victory in war rather than protecting constitutional rights. What's right is what brings victory, and those things like "rights" and "laws" and "human dignity" are for those faggy ACLU types.
Scalia said the nation is "at war with radical Islamists" and that the court's decision "will make the war harder on us. It will almost certainly cause more Americans to be killed."
Yep, that's how the founders felt, too. Score one for originalism!
