"The fate of the [Guantanamo] detainees, now numbering 169 and in some instances entering a second decade of confinement, was after all never the court's principal interest."

"...It was primarily a separation-of-powers concern that fueled the inter-branch drama of 2004 to 2008, during which a shrinking majority, over increasingly sharp dissents, pushed back against the Bush administration and Congress to assert the court's own institutional authority. -- Linda Greenhouse, Yale Law School professor and commentator for The New York Times
