Quote of the Day

"The court finds that the president has no power, neither express nor implied, neither constitutional nor statutory, to hold petitioner as an enemy combatant."
-- Judge Henry Floyd


Jose Padilla, who has been detained for almost three years as an "enemy combatant", must be charged or released within 45 days. Judge Floyd, a Bush appointee, went on to write that to rule otherwise would "be to engage in judicial activism." And we all know what Dubya thinks of "activist judges".
