Frightened by their own shadow
It's not at all surprising that the Republicans are climbing all over themselves in the wake of the Hamdan decision to re-write the laws to allow Bush to do everything he has been doing. Further, they are trying to intimidate the Democrats by, once again, calling them weak on terror. But, really, why are the Dems allowing themselves to be intimidated? Kangaroo trials by tin horned dictators are not that popular, particularly now that the country has soured on Bush and the war. Instead of whimpering in a corner, the Dems should stand up for the rule of law.

I would say Dems should basically wrap themselves in the importance of the rule of law. and the fact that the U.S. has always stood for the rule of law until now -- and that a reason for it is not just to protect the innocent and other "soft" values, but also to make sure we get the right people. It weakens us if we expend our energy on getting people who are innocent. The Republicans in office today (not all Republicans) are too stupid to get that.
