The Supremes: CO2 Yes, Detainees No

What is with these old farts? What is happening in Guantanamo right now is apparently not as important as what may happen 50 years from now.

Justice John Stevens called the harms associated with climate change "serious"-- harms which may be realized generations down the road. Today, however, almost 400 human beings remain imprisoned by the U.S. with no end in sight. None has had a hearing in court challenging their detention, and only 10 have even been charged with a crime.
