No matter how you stack the deck sometimes justice does prevail.

The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that foreign terrorism suspects held at Guantanamo Bay have rights under the Constitution to challenge their detention in U.S. civilian courts.

The justices handed the Bush administration its third setback at the high court since 2004 over its treatment of prisoners who are being held indefinitely and without charges at the U.S. naval base in Cuba. The vote was 5-4, with the court's liberal justices in the majority.

Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing for the court, said, "The laws and Constitution are designed to survive, and remain in force, in extraordinary times."

The court said not only that the detainees have rights under the Constitution, but that the system the administration has put in place to classify them as enemy combatants and review those decisions is inadequate.

The Bush administration has tried to put together a court that will put their ethics on hold and allow them to break the law with impunity, but they are clearly not there yet.

And hopefully once Obama takes office he will make sure that the Supreme Court makes sure to obey the rule of law and not the demands of their ideological masters.
