Don’t think it would get past the Senate filibuster.

[Congressman Billybob]

Look at the recent FISA "compromise" that gave the President what he wanted on security against foreigners. On paper, the Senate could have filibustered that forever. But not enough Democrats were willing to be on the wrong side of national security for a filibuster to happen.

I think the obvious insanity of the Supreme Court in the Boumediene case is of the same ilk. Once the issue was on the table in the Senate, too many Dems would run for cover and vote for it, for a filibuster to do its dirty work.
