But they're bad guys...they don't get any rights

The Supremes overwhelmingly overruled the Bush White House doctrine of "innocent until proven, no, well, you're just guilty" with regard to "enemy combatants." In other words the court decided that detainees can challenge their status before a third party and thus have access to a lawyer. Upon hearing news of the decision, Vice President Cheney was asked to refrain from telling any members of the Court to go fuck themselves, as the administration might need the Court again in November. Cheney planned only to issue an epithets to Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, John Paul Stevens, and David Souter because "those assholes are never on the correct side, anyway."
