GOP Congressman Introduces Bill Moving Gitmo Prisoners to Supreme Court Grounds, "Giving Inmate Terrorists More Opportunities Act of 2008"........
Rep. Louis Gohmert (R-ules) + 1.......
HR 6615 IH
To provide for the transport of the enemy combatants detained in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to Washington, DC, where the United States Supreme Court will be able to more effectively micromanage the detainees by holding them on the Supreme Court grounds, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘Giving Inmate Terrorists More Opportunities (GITMO) Act of 2008’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) The United States Supreme Court issued an opinion styled Boumediene v. Bush on June 12, 2008.
(2) Justice Anthony Kennedy, in the court’s majority opinion, held that foreign terrorism suspects held at the Guantanamo Bay naval base in Cuba have constitutional rights to challenge their detention in United States courts.
(3) This is an obvious effort on the part of the Supreme Court to micromanage the detainment and disposition of detainees in the War on Terror who are dedicated to destroying innocent people and the American way of life.
(4) The United States Supreme Court clearly needs increased opportunity to oversee the handling of the enemy combatants, as it has seen fit to take a greater role in managing the Global War on Terror, which is a duty previously exercised by the Executive Branch.
(5) There can be no better way for the United States Supreme Court to exercise its new self-appointed war powers than to house the prisoners whom it has taken a greater role in overseeing.

Put them on work release programs with their place of residence being a room in the homes of the politicians...

I believe this is right in line with the 'evolving and changing consensus' the SC so readily supports, is it not?
