The Conservative bias high court rules

According to Republicans, "no litmus test" was made in Bu$h appointing Conservative judges. Right, right, we hear ya.
The Supreme court ruled yesterday June 29th. in favor of former House Majority leader Tom Delays handiwork in Texas to redraw Congressional districts in Texas and favor Republicans.
The fix is in for next election, green light given by Supreme Court. Impeachment of Bush now stopped dead. Only Two justices decented, John Paul Stevens and Stephen Breyer.
Since the Constitution says adjustments can only be made after a "national census every decade" and only to account for "population shifts", I think we may have a skunk or two on the bench at the high court.

Also ruled 6-3 against Bush two Foreign suspects being held without a Lawyer contact. Is this a example "more" freedom. What about the rights under the 1969 treaty the USA signed? Gone?
The Guantanamo Bay Cuba as to if Bush has oversteped his authority.

The Constitution and all Americans had great victories this week!

Today brought a major victory for the rule of law –and a stunning defeat for the Bush Administration. Ruling 5-3 in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, the Supreme Court overturned an appeals court’s determination that military detainees are not entitled to fundamental due process rights including the right to be present at their trials and the right to confront witnesses against them. The hallmark of American justice and that of most civilized nations is that everyone is entitled to a fair trial, and today’s ruling sends a strong signal to the president that his administration cannot continue to ignore the rule of law.

People For the American Way Foundation filed an amicus brief in the case.
