Is Bush just going to ignore the SCOTUS ruling on Gitmo?

The Supreme Court has ruled that Bush can't ignore the Geneva Conventions, can't hold prisoners indefinitely without a trial, can't torture them, and they've all but called him a war criminal.

Yet, if anything at Gitmo has changed, I haven't read or heard about it. He's totally ignored laws passed by congress that he
doesn't like and now he's virtually told the SCOTUS justices to go Cheney themselves. And there's not a damn thing anyone can do about it. How can the supreme court enforce their ruling? Who can they order to arrest him?

If we can ever get Bush and his gang of thugs out of office, they must be held accountable. The offense of high crimes and misdemeanors is an impeachable offense, but don't hold your breath for congress to act. However, the war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by these miserable neanderthals are not pardonable. They must be tried and if/when found guilty, be put away where they can never again see a single day of freedom.
