Breaking News:  According to ABC News, The Supreme Court has determined that Guantanamo prisoners have the CONSTITUTIONAL right to challenge their confinement before federal judges. 

MSNBC reports that the 5-4 ruling was handed down this morning. 

The justices, in a 5-4 ruling Thursday, handed the Bush administration its third setback at the high court since 2004 over its treatment of prisoners who are being held indefinitely and without charges at the U.S. naval base in Cuba.

“We hold these petitioners do have the habeas corpus privilege,” Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for the court majority in the 70-page opinion.

He said that Congress had failed to create an adequate alternative for the prisoners held at the U.S. military base in Cuba to contest their detention.

Some of the detainees have been held at Gitmo for more than six years.  It is now wait and see time.  On the previous two setback decisions for the administration, action was taken almost immediately.  Will the Bush administration move for prompt hearings for the detainees?
