Somehow the answer to this question in the Washington Post-ABC News poll got “lost” in the reporting:

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that non-citizens suspected of terrorism who are being held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, should be allowed to challenge their detentions in the U.S. civilian court system. (Supporters of this ruling say it provides detainees with basic constitutional rights.) (Critics of the ruling say only special military tribunals should be allowed, because hearings in open court could compromise terrorism investigations.) What’s your view – do you think these detainees should or should not be able to challenge their detentions in the civilian court system?

The good news for Obama is that the Supreme Court decision is less unpopular than the ban on offshore drilling. The bad news: 61 percent of voters oppose the decision. Hmmm. Funny how we didn’t hear that bit of data. More importantly, this looks like a losing argument for Obama. It seems that the voters don’t like the idea of terrorist trials as a full employment act for the plaintiffs’ bar.
