Quote of the DayI know I quote Andrew Sullivan a lot, but I can't help it—he's one of the few remaining sane voices of conservatism in America. Here he is again trying to crack through the thick skull of the electorate:

The deeper point is that, in this law, the "battlefield" has been extended into every living room in the country, and that without judicial oversight, the entire discretion to name someone an "illegal enemy combatant" is entirely up to one man, the president. And he also has the discretion to torture such a person at will, using techniques once deployed by the North Vietnamese and the KGB. This is the bill now being considered. It is a grave threat to basic liberties.

Sullivan's latest book, The Conservative Soul: How We Lost It, How To Get It Back , will be out in a couple weeks.
