In very simple terms, this was about whether a Govt can ignore the rights of a citizen.   Remember that rights apply to both the "guilty" and the "innocent".    They apply whether you like the person or not.     Rights are not subject to a popularity poll.     Our laws should not be subject to a Govt deciding to ignore them for polling reasons.

The SCC has already ruled twice on this matter - both times in favour of Khadr.     So not sure why you think this doesn't clarify the issue of rights.    

In fact, the only way you would get more clarity is if this did go back to the SCC and they reversed their previous 2 decisions.      If that happened, the precedent would be that Canadians have NO rights, since a Govt would have the ability to ignore these rights with no penalty.    

Besides which, rolling the dice when you've already lost 2 decisions is not a good bet.
