I'd be remiss in my Bush bashing if I didn't acknowledge this item.
Supreme Court Blocks Guantanamo Tribunals
Those of us who found the Bush administration's "The Constitution is not a suicide pact" justification for it's power-grab programs should be glad to see that the Supreme Court disagrees (and not just on the question of tribunals, apparently).
Not that I'm under any illusions Congress won't rubber stamp any program the Pres brings to them, but it IS an election year and they've shown themselves to be nothing if not "responsive to public opinion" (read that with all the sarcasm you can muster and you'll get close to my intent). Stranger things have happened.
