Yeah right

"The judiciary should not have a check on the legislative or executive branches. "

These are the words of Sen. Jeff Sessions this morning in an article regarding his opinion of the U.S Supreme Court decision last week regarding Guantanamo prisoners.

As the story goes, the Supremes decided 5-4 that the U.S. Government is violating the rights of terrorism suspects as Guantanamo Bay by not giving them a right to argue in Civil court.

"Sessions, a Republican and former federal prosecutor, argued that Supreme Court justices aren't charged with protecting national security, so they should leave such things to Congress and the White House. He also said the judiciary should not have a check on the legislative or executive branches.

"Who checks their ability to render an opinion?" Sessions asked. "So they are superior to all other branches, and they get to review every other branch? That's the mindset we're operating under and they're operating under - that somehow they have the authority and responsibility to superintend everything that goes on in government and, if it offends their sensibilities, they're going to do something about it. But that's not the constitutional structure."

Now, I think that the Guantanamo issue alone could take up an entire website and I'm sure it already is somewhere.

How can anyone argue with Justice Kennedy here that

The laws and Constitution are designed to survive, and remain in force, in extraordinary times," Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for the majority.

Did Sessions forget the many times that Republicans have made law? Fla Recount, Iraq War, etc.

Let me remind you what Sessions said last year about the constitution "“The civil libertarians among us would rather defend the constitution than protect our nation’s security.”
