Politico: GOP congressman would have Supreme Court watch over GTMO detainees

http://www.politico.com/blogs/thecrypt/0708/GOP_congressman_would_have_Supreme_Court_watch_over_GTMO_detainees.html

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) apparently hasn�t taken kindly to the U.S. Supreme Court�s insistence that the judiciary has a right to play a role in determining the fate of the detainees held at Guantanamo Bay.

If they want to get involved, Gohmert reasons, then let them get involved. He introduced a bill yesterday to transport the detainees from the naval base in Cuba to the grounds of the Supreme Court, where the Court �will be able to more effectively micromanage the detainees.�

(snip)

The people of Texas should be very proud.

1. What a complete waste of time and money

of course the GOP is very good at spending someone else's money and price is no object.

2. I'm sure Scalia would like to do a little waterboarding.

He can pretend he's Jack Bauer, just like he always wanted.
