The Supreme Court will have the final say.
Earlier this year, the Court declared Bush's military tribunals unconstitutional based on two arguments - it did not have Congressional authorization and it violated sections of the Geneva Conventions, of which the US is a signator.
The Court vote was 5-3, with Stevens, Breyer, Ginsburg, Suter and Kennedy in the majority.
The first hurdle has been overcome. The second still stands and without knowing the details, I dont think it will pass the test and change any of those 5 votes.
I can hear the clicking figers of typed outrage from here at the activist Court.
