Well, what do we need him and the rest of the court for? We have you.

Put it to a vote on this forum and I have little doubt that the majority would pick me over the current sodomy-supporting, affirmative action endorsing, McCain-Feingold loving majority on the U.S. Supreme Court any day. But that in itself is not the issue at hand. The issue is whether or not Rehnquist is right or wrong, and I am saying without reservation that regardless of whatever position he may hold William Rehnquist, on the issue of habeas corpus, is simply wrong. He is wrong because his position defies the unanimously asserted view of the founding fathers and all standing court precedents since then. If you or he do not like that fact, tough.

And I am saying that your opinion on whether or not the Chief Justice is wrong on the issue is absolutely meaningless. Your opinion counts for nothing because the Supreme Court is tasked with determining what is Constitutional and what is not. Not you. Nor Roger Taney. Not Chief Justice Rehnquist himself. You can continue to spout that President Lincoln's actions on this were unconstitutional. You can say whatever pops into your head. But it isn't true because you say it is. It will only be true if the Supreme Court rules that it was. And that is the one thing you seem to have a great deal of trouble dealing with.
