Could The Rule Of Law Be Making A Comeback?

Strange and perhaps even unprecedented doings at the Supreme Court, vacating an earlier order denying review and requesting new briefs from the parties in two Guantanamo Bay detainee cases. SCOTUSblog provides good commentary, but the fact is that there isn't enough public information to get a good sense of what the Court is up to. After his thoroughgoing defeat over immigration reform, there isn't much left for Bush to lose on at this point beyond his sweeping assertion of war powers. Pelosi may be right -- he may not be worth impeaching. His (and Cheney's) continued administration can do nothing at this point but aid the Democratic Party however much the nation may suffer in the meanwhile.
