[Libertarianize the GOP]

One of my Professors, who had been a Marine Corp JAG, was upset with Scalia for giving a speech to a group of conservative businessmen where he suggested they boycott the law firms who were sending lawyers pro bono to GITMO.

I am also retired military. I thought I was serving to uphold the constitution, and I want my country to accord these kinds of rights to enemy detainiees because I want the opinion of the world on the shoulders of any of our enemies to press them to provide THESE SAME RIGHTS to our serving soldiers, sailors and airmen.

I find Scalia so far off base in his worship of the overriding authority of the executive, I don't understand where he thinks he is coming from. This country is not going to fall because we extended an habeas hearing to detainees at Guantanimo.

Scalia ... suggested they boycott the law firms

Antonin, time to retire if you think that hearing a case is a threat to the constitution.

Interesting reaction by your ex-prof. Sounds like he's too addicted to "the process". He has an inflated idea of what's going on. The law is just a veil over an ideological struggle between those who defend America and those who advocate for civil rights for those who would kill us and them
This Guantanamo pro bono work by major corporate law firms is an outrage, anyone with a lick of common sense gets it
