I hope it is Wombacher...He is the only guy over there that can get anything done.
In a stinging rejection of one of the Bush administration’s central assertions about the scope of executive authority to combat terrorism, a federal appeals court ordered the Pentagon to release a man being held as an enemy combatant.
“To sanction such presidential authority to order the military to seize and indefinitely detain civilians, Judge Diana Gribbon Motz wrote, “even if the President calls them ‘enemy combatants,’ would have disastrous consequences for the Constitution — and the country.” “We refuse to recognize a claim to power,” Judge Motz added, “that would so alter the constitutional foundations of our Republic.”

Why no post from the great DBR sponsored blogger?
Because, my dear Rumpole, it's not a Southern District of Florida case and I can't blog about every federal case when I'm blogging about Paris...
