A federal judge struck down President Bush’s authority to designate groups as terrorists, saying his post-Sept. 11 executive order was unconstitutionally vague, according to a ruling released Tuesday and reported by the Associated Press

The Humanitarian Law Project had challenged Bush’s order, which blocked all the assets of groups or individuals he named as “specially designated global terrorists” after the 2001 attacks.

We can only assume this also means liberal activist groups, including environmental groups and peace groups. It’s a major setback for Bush’s authoritarian view of the world and a victory for Constitutional freedoms everywhere.
