i believe the late GREAT steve martin did something like that, ages and ages ago, inquiring if they knew soandso was running and was “heterosexual” or “thespian” or something, and it was hilarious because, like all things abundantly funny, it was so so tragic. i have a bootleg, must go find.

I’m not a lawyer, Constitutional or otherwise, but Scalia’s declaration, “America is at war with radical Islamists.” sounds like an overblown political opinion and not close to a legal fact.

America is continuing its military occupation of the two countries we invaded in 2002. But that does not comprise being “at war” with radical Islamists (whoever they are).

Scalia sounds like a legal idiot.

I wonder if Lindsey was relying on info that his “friends” on the Court gave to him. Is it possible that Roberts and company were the unoffical advisers for Lindsey’s work? If so, maybe that would explain the blood vessel bursting disent by Scalia.

This tool is my Senator, to my great dismay. I express this dismay to him on a regular basis, though the response is always boilerplate bullshit. I called just last week to ask why he voted against the GI Bill. I get little pleasure from bashing his staff, in this case a nice young lady, who really failed badly at explaining (how could she) Graham’s reasoning.

I usually ask that Sen. Graham call me personally. I won’t hold my breath. A great friend of mine was involved in the preparation and presentation of the oral argument before the Court. I’ve never been prouder to know someone. He’s still concerned that there are holes that the administration could use to stall or preempt the decision’s finding. God damn Bush, and God damn Graham to hell.

Echoing the sentiments….How can anyone think W is an informed legal authority? He’s an outlaw.

And what does Graham want the Constitution to say? That the US is against Habeas Corpus? Or, it is only available to the elite? Those like us? etc etc etc. I love it when the Rs act crazy, and that is happening all the more though one wouldn’t have thought that possible.
