McCain on Supreme Court stands on habeas corpus 3 Months, 3 Weeks ago Karma: 2  


McCain just said about yesterday's Supreme Court decision upholding the constitutional right of habeas corpus.

Here's McCain, in his own words, proving exactly how out of touch he really is:

"The United States Supreme Court yesterday rendered a decision which I think is one of the worst decisions in the history of this country." *

What???

Yesterday's powerful decision by the Court (a decision Americans should be proud of) affirmed a fundamental constitutional right -- in this case, the right of a detainee to challenge the government's grounds for confining him. What does McCain think is so bad about that?

Does he think protecting the right to be heard in court is...

* ...worse than locking thousands of Americans in internment camps because they had Japanese ancestry? (Korematsu v. United States -- 1944)
* ...worse than forcing African Americans to sit at the back of the bus? (Plessy v. Ferguson -- 1896)
* ...worse than slavery? (Dred Scott v. Sanford -- 1857)

Really, Senator McCain?
