From http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/17/AR2006081700650.html :

"It was never the intent of the framers to give the president such unfettered control, particularly where his actions blatantly disregard the parameters clearly enumerated in the Bill of Rights," Taylor wrote in her 43-page opinion. ". . . There are no hereditary Kings in America and no powers not created by the Constitution. So all 'inherent powers' must derive from that Constitution." - U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor

Stripped of the legalese I think the judgement boils down to, "The defendant can suck it!"
