DC's Head Moron Rolls On

Ace does a fine job of spotlighting another of Hopey's "unintended consequences":

Bush, the supposed idiot, established a bright-line distinction between citizen suspects and illegal combatants. Bush, the fascist cretin who couldn't pronounce "nuclear," set up an analytical structure wherein it was clear that citizen suspects were owed the full panoply of constitutional protections, and only terrorist illegal combatants were to be treated with lesser protections.

But Obama the Genius With the Nicely Creased Trousers has created a system wherein Mad Maxipad is sorta like me, as far as the law goes, and I, unfortunately, am sorta like him.

And instead of there being a bright-line distinction between us, I sort of have to trust that the Obama Administration will be restrained by its own conscience and judgment, because there isn't any strong paper command about this any longer.

And how are they doing so far?

Well, gee: If Breitbart's reportage is true, James O'Keefe was denied a lawyer for a full 28 hours.

Seems a pretty big departure from constitutional norms, doesn't it?

But of course that don't mean nuthin' to the lib-ruls. Get over there and RTWT.
