Almost brought a tear to my eye

McCain disagreed with the Supreme Court decision about the Gitmo detainees. I was actually very surprised since he has been in favor of closing Gitmo and has been critical of the Bush administrations stance on the prisoners. It smacks a little of inconsistency, but if he is going to move, then I strongly feel that this is the right direction.

Two of the most intelligent judges to ever sit on the bench (in my humble opinion), Roberts and Scalia wrote very powerful (and long) dissenting opinions in this case. McCain was right to chime in, just kind of surprising that he did.

Way to go JCM! For a brief fleeting moment you have your conservative base swooning. It almost brings a flicker of hope (not the BO kind, but the REAL kind).
