Justices to hear challenge to Bush war courts
The Supreme Court will hear Salim Hamdan's constitutional challenge to the Pentagon's military commissions. Hamdan argues the special war court is unfair and un-Ameri can, and urges trial in a civilian or established U.S. court. His case raises broader questions about presidential power, Geneva Conventions status, and access to civilian courts for detainees.

GOP fatigue could hurt the party's chances
GOP fatigue grows as voters show anger and ambivalence toward Bush Iraq and Congress. Brian Wareing, a lifelong Republican, may skip voting or back a third party in November. Polls show declining GOP support among 2004 Bush voters and war backers, while local issues in states like Ohio and Connecticut shape contests.
