We'll hear how it weakens America and makes us more vulnerable, etc

The ruling is likely to limit the ability of the U.S. government to prosecute people via special military tribunals for offenses not internationally recognized as war crimes. Those cases could instead be heard in civilian courts. (from the OP

I pray for the day when the true perps of 9/11, et al, face justice in a civilian court, with all the civil rights they stripped from others--yup, I would grant them civil rights and a fair trial, like other human beings--and all their dirty rotten secrets and all their dirty rotten deeds laid bare as the evidence against them.

i might, though, support a special commission for devising the punishment for those convicted. I would NOT put mothers and wives of dead U.S. soldiers on the commission, nor family survivors of 9/11, nor family members of the million dead in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere--though that would be very tempting. I don't think the point should be vengeance, but rather saving their souls and, more importantly, our own.

My own notion for punishment of these perps would be a life sentence of emptying bedpans in veterans hospitals, wearing an electric anklet (so we know where they are) and a bodycam that could be broadcast into our children's classrooms and into our homes. These perps would not be harmed; they would not even be punished with prison diets and prison rape. They would not have to work extra shifts. And we might even pay them, say, $8/hr. (All other assets would be confiscated, though.) And they would have an ordinary small apartment to live in. They would live like most Americans, shoveling shit for shit pay, and suffering intrusion and surveillance, as very special prisoners who embody everything that we don't want to be, as individuals and as a nation.
