"...And it shows once again why the decisions of unaccountable judges shouldn't be allowed to supplant those of an elected Commander in Chief..."

That's quite a revealing choice of words. Shouldn't the fundamental concept of checks and balances always apply, regardless of the situation? Or does waging an eternal "war" conveniently suspend checks and balances, and enable an unaccountable Commander in Chief?
