Supremes Sing for bush?

Arthur Silber isn't very happy with the rulings in Hamdi, Padilla and Rasul:

...as Turley notes, the fact that these questions arose in this form in the first place -- questions that lie at the very foundation of what was our original system of government -- is a very ominous sign, a sign whose significance a great many people appear not to appreciate fully, if at all.
...
MORE CONFIRMATION: Of my view -- if the Wall Street Journal is pleased about the Supreme Court's rulings, you can be pretty damned sure that they're bad news for the defenders of individual rights:
Now I'm not as happy with these rulings as I was two days ago.
