Bijvoorbeeld hier, onder "Court opinions".
Zo kom je bijvoorbeeld bij de majority opinion in BOUMEDIENE et al. v. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, et al., vorige week nog in het nieuws. Maar vermakelijker is vermoedelijk de dissent van Scalia:
Quote: | And today it is not just the military that the Court elbows aside. A mere two Terms ago in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, 548 U. S. 557 (2006), when the Court held (quite amazingly) that the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005 had not stripped habeas jurisdiction over Guantanamo petitioners’ claims, four Members of today’s five-Justice majority joined an opinion saying the following:
Quote: | Nothing prevents the President from returning to Congress to seek the authority [for trial by military commission] he believes necessary.
Where, as here, no emergency prevents consultation with Congress, judicial insistence upon that consultation does not weaken our Nation’s ability to deal with danger. To the contrary, that insistence strengthens the Nation’s ability to determine— through democratic means—how best to do so. The Constitution places its faith in those democratic means.” Id., at 636 (BREYER, J., concurring).1 |
Turns out they were just kidding. |
