I’m buried under as usual today but I wanted to link up to Andy McCarthy’s slam of today’s NYT editorial, which is titled “Guilty as Ordered” (emphasis mine) in reference to the recent guilty ruling in Gitmo’s Hamdan trial.   As expected, the NYT is reflexively anti-Bush, strongly implying that he is a dicator prone to imperial rule. Both McCarthy’s rebuttal, as well as NRO’s response, go a long way towards providing the details the NYT, of course, won’t.Â
The Washington Post warns today that while an Obama presidency would likely keep the USSC “balanced” in the almost-sure event that one or more of the USSC’s liberal justices retire during the next presidential term, a McCain presidency would “shift to a consistently conservative majority” ready to tackle issues important to “the right”:
I’m not sure if I’ll be around this morning when the USSC issues it’s ruling on the controversial landmark D.C. v. Heller gun case, so just in case I’m not, feel free to use this post to comment on it when it comes in.
Red State reports on a bill LA Gov. Bobby Jindal signed yesterday shortly after he issued his statement expressing outrage at yesterday’s USSC ruling on the case of Kennedy v. Louisiana, where the USSC ruled that the death penalty was cruel and unusual punishment and therefore unconstitutional in cases of child rape:
The decision on Kennedy v. Louisiana, a case that decided whether or not child rape was punishable by death, was announced this morning. Unfortunately I didn’t have the time to blog on it (daytime blogging will continue to be light for me for the forseeable future) but now that I’ve gotten home I’ve had a chance to read what happened to that poor little 8 year old girl at the hands of a disgrace to civilized society, as well as read some of the ruling, I’m not getting at all how the majority came to its decision.
