A Man with a Flashlight

The president is weak, unpopular, and embroiled by scandal. The war continues to deteriorate and the public opposes it. Republicans are calling for the close of Guantanamo and the restoration of Habeas Corpus has bipartisan support.

So why are the Dems so shy about restoring Habeas Corpus? At the end of the day, are they made of anything more than pretty talk?

It’s like you’re playing basketball and you cherry-pick a pass with no defenders around, it’s just you and the basket. There is no more perfect setup for the Democrats to take action. This is a downhill charge in every respect, the wind is favorable, the sun is shining. If they do nothing now, I will never forget it.
