Scalia is SUCH a bedwetter. What the Nation is going to regret is that the Supreme Court was unable to roll back Bush’s paranoid, lawless administration earlier on. Guantanamo puts the lie to any claim of American moral superiority and provides a snappy one-word rebuttal to the phrase “home of the brave.” I can think of no more cowardly assertion than “the Constitution is not a suicide pact.” If we’re too terrified to live up to our ideals, we deserve whatever we get.
