[T]he Supreme Court is the next stop, and may uphold this ruling. FT: "Judge John Roberts is likely to be confirmed by the Senate this month as chief justice following the death of former Chief Justice William Rehnquist. In a previous ruling as an appeals court judge Mr Roberts found that the courts should show great deference to the president in the war on terrorism. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who wrote for the plurality in the Hamdi case, is also likely to be gone before the court takes up the issue." (via MetaFilter)
