I have a question.

Senator Cornyn (I'd love to see him run for president, btw) mentioned that Justice O'Connor voted one way regarding enemy combatants and Justice Scalia voted another way.

Can someone explain to me what that case was all about?

It's the Hamdi case. It's about military v. civilian "detention."

Frankly when that man speaks all activity around me stops. My husband finally witnessed what I've been saying about Cornyn for months and said he didn't want to check Schumer's seat after Cornyn was finished.

They were discussing the Hamdi vs. Rumsfeld case which is interesting to read
