You make good points, and provide context for this very strong individual statement that appears to be inconsistent with McCain’s stance on other related issues.
"I certainly appreciate one of the nation's three co-equal branches of government, the Supreme Court, weighing in on this important issue. However, as Commander-in-Chief I am responsible for the safety of all American citizens and I respectfully disagree with today's 5 - 4 ruling. Therefore, under my watch non-citizen enemy combatants will not be given access to the American civilian court system. Thank you."
LOL, just kidding!
(Yeah, right! - - Like Bush has a spine!)
The question is: Does McCain have a spine?
I think I already know the answer....
