Maybe there's hope

This NY Times piece seems to contradict an article I linked to yesterday. Maybe there's some hope that the Supreme's will stop Bush's march to world dominion:

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5 — When it comes to the rights of the detainees at Guantánamo Bay, the Supreme Court, and not the president or Congress, will have the last word.

That was the clear part of the message to emerge Wednesday from the Supreme Court argument on whether the men held as enemy combatants at the United States naval base in Cuba have been provided with constitutionally adequate means to challenge the legality of their detention.

A majority of the court appeared ready to agree that the detainees were entitled to invoke some measure of constitutional protection. Indeed, these justices seemed to treat that threshold issue as a bridge they had crossed long before they entered the courtroom.
