Ok I hear the dissenting voices. Would anyone care to explain how exactly this ruling hurts americans?

The right of Habeas Corpus is fundamental to our legal system, and has been since the very first days of the republic.

When we allow our response to terrorism to alter the very foundation of our system of jurisprudence, then the terrorists win.

In and of itself, though, this ruling does not harm Americans. It is simply a necessary hurdle to get the issue before the USSC for final and definitive resolution.
