Worst Supreme Court decision in American’s history? Or what America says it fights for?

Vox Day tells us why the Supreme Court’s recent 5-4 decision about detainees at Guantanamo Bay was a good decision.

I agree it was a good decision for freedom at the cost of more threat of terrorism. Nevertheless, why do we even fight for freedom overseas if our own government can take our own freedoms away without do process of law? It may be the 9/11 terrorist suspects that are at Guantanamo Bay today but it may be Christian speaking biblical truth tomorrow (”hate speech” “fundamentalist terrorists”).

The Christian choice that would restore constitutional freedoms whom Vox Day said was rejected by Republicans is Ron Paul.

Day’s last statement about those refusing to be warned is historical and prophetic.

Habeas is 9/10 of the law

the fact that John McCain recently described this decision as “one of the worst decisions in the history of this country” is reason enough for the most staunch Republican to seriously consider voting for the lightweight socialist mama’s boy that is Barack Obama. The Magic Negro would make for a horrendously bad president, provide the U.S. economy with a lethal injection of counterproductive economic policies and get American forces disastrously involved in African tribal politics, but at least he has shown no signs of wishing to create an American Gestapo.

Don’t get me wrong; for all that this practical decision by the Supreme Court is protective of American liberties, the quiet war between a judicially activist executive branch and a judicially activist judicial branch is strongly indicative of total disaster in the long term. It is a clear sign that the limiting force of the U.S. Constitution on the federal government has been shattered, that the political system is no longer even superficially democratic and that the idea of America as a unique nation dedicated to freedom and human liberty is no longer applicable to the current United States. But the death of the American dream should not be confused with the end of the world; after all, the vast majority of historical humanity lived without ever having had any voice in its own governance.

So, enjoy the tattered remnants of your historical freedoms while they last. And Republicans who despair as they consider their electoral options this fall should remember that they had the choice to nominate a man who pledged to work towards restoring those very freedoms, but they dismissed him as a lunatic and a naïve fool. From Cassandra to Jesus Christ, it is amazing how often the doomed choose to ignore those who warn them of their coming fate.
