New I just don't get Senator Arlen Specter
Perhaps the most striking of all the briefs is the one filed by Senator Arlen Specter, Republican of Pennsylvania. The withdrawal of habeas corpus, he tells the justices, \ufffdis anathema to fundamental liberty interests,\ufffd and the combatant status review tribunal process is so deeply flawed that it \ufffddemands robust habeas review.\ufffd

Mr. Specter was chairman of the Judiciary Committee when the Military Commissions Act was passed. He was, in fact, one of the 65 senators who voted for it.

New He almost always plays both side of the issue
Talks a good game, anti-Bush, pro-liberty, etc, but then votes the other way.
Seen it for years.
New Re: He almost always plays both side of the issue
That he does, but I can't believe that he couldn't see how stupid it looks to play both sides of this issue without some kind of explanation.
