Just Asking . . .

Responding to the Supreme Court’s decision this week to uphold the rights of detainees at Gitmo, Senator John McCain called it “one of the worst decisions in the history of this country.” I wonder which other cases he considers to be worse than the one that preserves the Constitution and the centuries-old tradition of habeas corpus. Perhaps, he ranks Boumediene v. Bush right up there with Marbury v. Madison or Brown v. Board of Education or Griswold v. Connecticut or Loving v. Virginia or Lawrence v. Texas or, for that matter, any decision the High Court has made over its 200-plus history to protect the civil rights and liberties of those living in the United States or our territories, including, yes Senator, at Guantanamo Bay.

I wish the media would follow up with McCain regarding his comment and ask him which other decisions he considers to be just as malicious, if not more so. I’m anxious for his reply, although I’m not about to hold my breath. For if the media finally takes their balls out of their purse, they might actually question the good Senator. After all, he did once favorably comment that the media was his “base.”
