U. S. Supreme Court is expected to rule against Bush on Gitmo detainees.

Today, the U. S. Supreme Court reversed itself on its denial to hear appeals from detainees at Guantanamo (Gitmo) (read my earlier post on this issue) and issued the following order granting Certiorari:

CERTIORARI GRANTED

06-1195) BOUMEDIENE, LAKHDAR, ET AL. V. BUSH PRESIDENT OF U.S., ET AL. ) 06-1196 ) AL ODAH, KHALED A. F., ET AL. V UNITED STATES, ET AL. The petitions for rehearing are granted. The orders entered April 2, 2007, denying the petitions for writs of certiorari are vacated. The petitions for writs of certiorari are granted. The cases are consolidated and a total of one hour is allotted for oral argument. As it would be of material assistance to consult any decision in Bismullah, et al., v. Gates, No. 06-1197, and Parhat, et al., v. Gates, No. 06-1397, currently pending in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, supplemental briefing will be scheduled upon the issuance of any decision in those cases.

If you ask me my humble legal opinion, I will tell you that the Supreme Court is getting ready to "lower the boom" on the Bush Administration regarding its treatment of the detainees, particularly the Administration's claim that it can hold the detainees indefinitely without charging them with any crimes and also deny them the privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus - by denying them access to the federal courts, whose jurisdiction over the detainees claim Congress stripped in the wake of 9-11.

You can mark my words!
