TODAY'S DEMOCRACY NOW!:

* Rebuking Bush Admin, Justices Rule Gitmo Prisoners Can Challenge
Imprisonment in US Court *

In a stinging blow to the Bush administration, the Supreme Court has ruled
prisoners in Guantanamo Bay can challenge their detention in civilian
federal courts. The ruling marked the third time in four years the Supreme
Court has ruled against the Bush administration concerning the rights of
Guantanamo prisoners. We speak to Vincent Warren, executive director of the
Center for Constitutional Rights, which represents dozens of detainees at
Guantanamo.

* Despite Opposition from His Own Party, Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich
Vows to Continue Impeachment Effort Against Bush *

We speak to Ohio Congress member and former Democratic presidential hopeful
Dennis Kucinich about his impeachment effort against President Bush. On
Wednesday, Congress voted to send Kucinich's bill to the House Judiciary
Committee, where it's unlikely to be considered before Bush leaves office.
Kucinich spent four hours on the House floor Monday reading out thirty-five
articles of impeachment against the President.
