Rights for Gitmo "Detainees"

I thought the Supremes had settled this last summer, but then some yahoo judge decided he could overrule the Supremes. Now, a different judge has ruled that the "detainees" do in fact have rights. The Bushies pretty much ignored the Supremes, although Hamdi was finally "freed" (deported and deprived of his citizenship without due process). I'm pretty sure that they'll ignore this ruling as well. What scares me is how many people seem to think that the Constitution gives the president the unilateral right to decide these issues, when it was clearly the intention of the authors that no one person would have dictatorial power over anyone.
