McCain: Gitmo Ruling One of Court’s “Worst Decisions” Ever

HeadlineJun 16, 2008

Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain said the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on Guantanamo is “one of the worst decisions in the history of this country.” Last week, the Court ruled that prisoners held indefinitely at Guantanamo have a right to challenge their detention in US courts. McCain said, “Our first obligation is the safety and security of this nation and the men and women who defend it. This decision will harm our ability to do that.” McCain also criticized his main rival Barack Obama for supporting the court’s decision.
