R.I.P., Great Writ

What the hell. Habeas corpus has only been part of law for seven hundred years; why keep it around? How did your Senator vote on the retention of the legal principle which allows a prisoner to contest his imprisonment in front of a judge?

Oh, Mr. Broder? Your favorite "Independents," McCain, Warner, and Graham? They voted in lockstep with the Bush Administration. Specter's amendment was defeated 48-51.
