Re: "That's my view and it happens to be correct"
I will correct yet another error. The prisoner has whatever relief is afforded him by the state court system, my friend, in addition to the pardon process (and yes, people with DNA evidence have had...

Re: "That's my view and it happens to be correct"
Wonderment,
I have not ignored anything you've written, quite to the contrary. I referenced above both our treaty obligations and the 5th amendment as the sources of the illegality of torture. ...

Re: "That's my view and it happens to be correct"
Wonderment,
First, once Scalia had announced his views on these matters in Hamdan (and Rasul), he was free to opine on them in public without need for future recusal, under the normal standards of...

Re: "That's my view and it happens to be correct"
BJ,
I have no interest, one way or another, in Scalia "the man." I thought we were having a discussion of law and policy. Perhaps he is a scoundrel--what of it? I rather doubtit, given the way...

Re: Scalia principles of justice
Wonderment,
Do you have a source for the "mere factual innocence" quotation? I see it referred to as something he wrote in Herrera v. Collins...

Re: Where's the argument
[QUOTE=TwinSwords;80710]
I don't know much about the law, but it clearly doesn't contain anything which automatically resolves these questions in Scalia's favor. In fact, I'm quite sure that if...

Re: So Brink...
BJ,
I would not defend that portion of Scalia's opinion in particular, though if he believes empirically that it is correct I don't think it's reprehensible. Surely if one thinks that (a) a...

Re: So Brink...
BJ,
Kind of you to say so. I suspect you won't care for my remarks here; and it's late at night here on the East Coast, so I'm being a bit short. But these two bheads are smart enough to give...

So Brink...
...if our enemies are unconventional and plan things over a long period of time (i.e., if they are Al Qaeda, which planned 9/11 for a long time), then you think it can't count as a war, which in your...

Joshua, you are too smart for this
Mr. Cohen,
Can you not recognize that Justice Scalia is not claiming that the loss of life he predicts is not a legally controlling factor in the case? If you can't recognize this, then you can't...

Re: flag pin?
BJ, I can appreciate that you liked Obama's original answer on flag pins; but doesn't that confirm that there is an issue here? I don't think your take is unreasonable, and frankly it's not an issue...

Re: Dinga-Eli-Links

McCain and 100 Years
Kudos to HH for admitting that the "He wants 100 years of war meme" is disingenuous nonsense from Obama and Hillary. But she can't quite let go and dismisses that truth to something of interest to...
