The Bush administration pushed legislation through on Dec 30 that prohibited the USSC from hearing the case that a terror suspect filed about military tribunal. The legislation sends the case to a federal appeals court and limits the scope that the appeals court can consider on the court. I guess my question here is: what weakens the constitution more Roe v Wade or stripping cases from the only body that ever volunteered to champion the Constitution?

No, they didn't. Re-read the article, and you will find that the Supreme Court has granted cert (meaning they have accepted the case). The government has argued that the new law means the Supreme Court cannot hear the case until after the tribunal rules, but the Court has not accepted this reasoning.
