I'm hearing rumors this mornign that the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of restoring habeas corpus. They've taken a step in that direction, at least. They have ruled in favor of Gitmo detainees having the right to a fair trial... imagaine that.
The win was by a very narrow margin. There are still four justices who don't believe the United States is a country founded on the rule of law, sadly enough, a fact that should give you nightmares. But a narrow victory is still a victory and I'll take it. Next, we should look into restoring habeas corpus for all those detained by the US... including citizens!
I'm hoping Obama makes a big deal about this because I'd love to see McCain dissent. He's doing a great job so far telling us that oil companies need tax breaks, the rich need tax cuts, and the youth need a war to go to...
