Obama, the former constitutional law professor argued, "what I have also said is this: that when you suspend habeas corpus which says very simply if the government grabs you, then you have the right to at least ask, 'Why was I grabbed?', and say, 'Maybe you’ve got the wrong person.'
"The reason you have that safeguard," he said, "is because we don't always have the right person. We don’t always catch the right person. We may think this is Mohammed the terrorist, it might be Mohammed the cab driver. You may think it’s Barack the bomb thrower, but it might be Barack the guy running for president."

Unless, of course, you nab the guy actually throwing a bomb at your troops in some foreign theater of war beyond the boundaries of our constitution.
But Obama, the former constitutional law professor, wants to extend habeas corpus and other constitutional rights to people like this.
Now we are starting to see why he is referred to as “the former constitutional law professor” instead of “the eminent and renowned constitutional law professor”.
