Yes, I know it began a long time ago, but since the passing of the Military Commissions Act of 2006 a couple days ago, the Bush administration has been very quick to notify the courts that they no longer have jurisdiction to consider hundreds of Guantanamo Bay cases.

The new law already has been challenged as unconstitutional by lawyers representing the petitioners

I guess someone forgot to tell them that the constitution no longer matters.

Whichever side loses in the upcoming court battles, he said, will then appeal to the Supreme Court.
