ARTICLE: McCain Denounces Detainee Ruling, By Juliet Eilperin and Michael D. Shear, Washington Post, June 14, 2008; Page A04 ARTICLE: Critics Study Possible Limits to Habeas Corpus Ruling, By Michael Abramowitz, Washington Post, June 14, 2008; Page A05

I believe in this ruling, and see it as an appropriate limit on federal power, but hardly a new "grab." The new grab had already occurred in the other direction, and now it's being trimmed back. I wrote in PNM that this would happen and be natural: the Exec pushes new rules to the max and the Court trims back. Surprised to see McCain side with Bush on this one.
