United States
Congress Scheduled To Contest President Bush`s Military Tribunals As the Bush Administration prepares to comply with the
recent United States Supreme Court`s edit to officially bring the Guantanamo
detainee before some kind of judicial body- congress weighs in on how to assist
the Administration in complying with this decree. Jonathan Weisman of the
Washington Post writes that U.S. House Republicans differed with the U. S.
Senate over how to handle the Military Tribunals. Some
members of congress such
as Representative Candice S. Miller, a Michigan Republican, wants to `just
ratify what the executive branch (president) and the Department of Defense have
done and move on.` She continued- `That would be a very desirable way to
proceed. By contrast many other members of congress such as U.S. Senate
Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter, a Pennsylvania Republican, indicated
to Mr. Dell Orto and Assistant Attorney General Steven G. Bradbury that- `I
doubt very much that congress is going to be disposed to leave these issues to
the Department of Defense.` As a matter of course- some members of congress felt
that they as a body much search for means to comply with the United States
Supreme Court`s edit and give the Bush Administration the tools to successfully
conduct the War on Terror. On this
issue the United States House of
Representative`s Armed Services Committee Chairman Representative Duncan Hunter,
(Republican of California)- stated that `We have to give the executive the tools
to fight this war. He continued- `This is not a separation of powers issue. It
is an issue of how to defeat the enemy.`
