Bush Ignores Supreme Court Ruling

After the Supreme Court -- you know, that third, supposedly equally powerful branch of government -- ruled that prisoners a Guantanamo Bay had a right to a trial in Federal Courts, the Bush administration
promptly ignored them, giving the prisoners review in front of a military court instead.

Really, the Executive Branch is ignoring what the Judicial Branch is telling them to do? Yes, in fact, they are, as they recently repeated the arguments to another Federal Judge -- below the Supreme court, obviously -- verbatim. As if the Supreme Court ruling didn't exist.
That Judge -- James Robertson, threw out the trials, and says to the admin: get your trials back into Federal courts where the Supreme Court already said they should be.
