The U.S. Supreme Court will announce its decision in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld tomorrow. This is the case that challenges the constitutionality of military tribunals. Tea leaf readers are predicting a 6-3 decision written by Justice Stevens, which sounds not so good for the Administration.
While preparing this post, I found something interesting — there seems to be, as of yet, no group photo of the new Supreme Court, with Roberts and Alito. There is a photo of the pre-Alito Court and President Bush, but none of all nine current Justices. So I settled for a picture of the building instead.
Anyway, this will be the biggest, sexiest decision of the year. It will probably be handed down at about ten o’clock in the morning, Eastern time, which means that I’ll first hear about it on NPR tomorrow morning. I’m not going to make any predictions, myself, and I will simply await the ruling with great anticipation.
