The liberal activists on the Supreme Court succeeded in usurping the treaty-making power of the Executive and the ratification power of the Legislature by unilaterally dictating its own treaty between the U.S. and Al Qaeda that grants the former nothing and the latter everything (if you disagree, explain what protections America gets from the Supreme Court's treaty). Now the administration is forced to acquiesce to our robed tyrants.

The Bush administration, called to account by Congress in the wake of a Supreme Court ruling blocking military tribunals, said Tuesday all detainees at Guantanamo Bay and in U.S. military custody everywhere are entitled to protections under the Geneva Conventions.

America should withdraw from the Geneva Convention and instead embark on the tedious process of entering into bilateral agreements with each country that is a signatory to the Convention. This may be time-consuming and burdensome, but it is the only avenue that our increasingly absurd court has left open. If Republicans were smart, and they're seemingly not, they'd use this whole idea of giving Geneva protections to terrorists as a political club. Although, with Bill Frist saying they'd take it up after the summer recess, perhaps he sees a Fall debate on this issue as good for the GOP.
