We are now going to have the courts flooded with so-called … habeas corpus suits against the government, whether it be about the diet, whether it be about the reading material

McCain needs to do his homework.

Just like his Shiite/Sunni "problem", he shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what Habeas lawsuits involve. They don't have a thing to do with diet or reading material or any other such nonsense.

Oh yes they do! They shouldn't, but they do.

Thousands of habeas suits are filed by inmates every day, in every state of the union, claiming that their diet, their reading material, their mail status, their prison garb, their required haircut, their visitor status, etc. etc. etc. causes their imprisonment to be "unconstitutional."

McCain was exactly right here. Someone else needs to do some homework.

What in the hell were all those primary voters thinking???

Is McCain showing signs of unhealthy aging with such remarks? Could we end up with a veritable Robert Byrd behind the Oval Office desk?
