I know that political people will roll their eyes when they read this, but I believe that if Congress is to protect its perogative to define the jurisdiction of all courts, the House needs to pick one justice involved in Hamdan and begin impeachment proceedings on him/her.
I am not stating that the bill of impeachment has to pass the House, but public hearings on the issue would do much to both educate the public as to what the Constitution says on the matter and discourage the Court and press from ignoring it.
I'd pick Justice Stephens for two reasons. First, he is the author of Hamdan. Second, he might decide that he doesn't want to spend the last few years of his life defending an indefensible Constitutional position and resign.
