"During the bitter controversy over the military commission bill, which President Bush signed into law on Tuesday, most of the press and the professional punditry missed the big story. In the struggle for power between the three branches of government, it is not the presidency that "won." Instead, it is the judiciary that lost."The spine-free collection of reprobates known as Congress has managed, apparently, to rise to the occasion of defending their own, and the President's, Constitutional turf against a runaway judiciary.
Good on them. For a minute.
I expect the Republicans were already back to cringing and whimpering and the Democrats to treason before the ink dried on the President's signature.
