On Thursday 12th June 2008, the US Supreme Court delivered an Opinion in the case of Lakhdar Boumediene v. George W. Bush, President of the United States, et al ((Nos. 06-1195 and 06-1196; 476 F. 3d 981, reversed and remanded). The Opinion enunciated gave detainees at Guantánamo Bay access to the US courts for the first time. This reversed an earlier judgment by the US Court of Appeals.

In delivering the Opinion of the US Supreme Court, Justice Anthony Kennedy said: "Because our nation's past military conflicts have been of limited duration, it has been possible to leave the outer boundaries of war powers undefined. If, as some fear, terrorism continues to pose dangerous threats to us for years to come, the court might not have this luxury. The laws and Constitution are designed to survive, and remain in force, in extraordinary times. Liberty and security can be reconciled; and in our system they are reconciled within the framework of the law. In some of these cases six years have elapsed without the judicial oversight that habeas corpus or an adequate substitute demands .... While some delay in fashioning new procedures is unavoidable, the costs of delay can no longer be borne by those who are held in custody. The detainees in these cases are entitled to a prompt habeas corpus hearing."

This Opinion dealt a body blow to the hegemony of the Roman Catholic cabal at the US Supreme Court, which had been straining every sinew to keep the illegal Guantánamo Bay arrangements in place for the White House. John Glover Roberts, Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas voted as a bloc against the Opinion, but they were outnumbered 5-4 and the majority view of the other Justices defeated them. Full details of the case can be found here.

Habeas corpus is the freedom from being thrown in prison illegally, with no help, no end in sight and no due process. The Latin phrase 'habeas corpus' means 'you have the body'. Prisoners often seek release by filing a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Such a writ is a judicial mandate to a prison official ordering that an inmate be brought to the court so it can be determined whether or not that person is imprisoned lawfully and whether or not he should be released from custody. A habeas corpus petition is a petition filed with a court by a person who objects to his own or another's detention or imprisonment. The petition must show that the court ordering the detention or imprisonment made a legal or factual error. Habeas corpus petitions are usually filed by persons serving prison sentences. Until the 12th June 2008, habeas corpus was denied to the inmates at Guantánamo Bay. In effect, what the Bush White House had done was to assume the sole power to call someone an enemy, wave its hand, and lock that person away indefinitely. The SCOTUS Opinion was therefore a stinging rebuke to Bush-Cheney's anti-terror policies and to the fascist influence of the Roman Catholic Justices placed there for the convenience of the US Executive Branch.

On Friday 13th June 2008, President George Bush Jnr was in Paris. He believed himself to be at imminent risk of arrest because of his continuing blocking of the Global Refinancing Settlements and the NESARA reforms. The President placed an urgent telephone call through to Dick Cheney in Washington. It was a conference call which included John Glover Roberts at the US Supreme Court. According to Christopher Story's paraphrase (here), part of the exchange ran as follows:

Bush: "I have to pay or I’ll be arrested."

Cheney: "That’s your problem. You gave me a Power of Attorney two months ago to handle these financial matters and I’ll do as I like." Cheney then asked Roberts to confirm that he (Roberts) held the Power of Attorney. Roberts confirmed this.

Bush: "I have to see The Queen and Brown tomorrow and they’ll want to be certain we’ve paid, or either they won’t let me go, or I’ll be arrested on arrival back home."Cheney: "I can prove to you that no-one will touch you."

If this report is accurate, the legal signifiers are alarming. While in post, and at a time of war, the 43rd President of the United States has signed over his Power of Attorney to another in the full knowledge of the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court. Why was this done? Was the President of unsound mind? Is he now still the de jure President or is he only the de facto President? Was Congress consulted? And why have the American people not been informed? The President is the Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States. How can George Bush Jnr be Commander-in-Chief when he does not even command his own personal estate? And by which law does the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court legitimate this irregularity?

By the middle of June 2008, it was thought highly unlikely that John Glover Roberts would be able to stay in post at the Supreme Court. His fingerprints were all over a slew of incriminating papers, wire logs and the altar linens of Mammon's Black Mass.
