George Will Scares Me

Why? Because I so often agree with him these days. This is what Bush hath wrought: the neocons make paleocons like Will look positively progressive. This from today's column:

As the conservative and libertarian Cato Institute argued in its amicus brief in support of the petitioning detainees, habeas, in the context of U.S. constitutional law, "is a separation of powers principle" involving the judicial and executive branches. The latter cannot be the only judge of its own judgment.

Hardly a ringing endorsement of the Unitary Executive.

You can read Will's column--which, by the way, takes McCain to task for his outrageous pronouncements on the Court's recent habeus decision --here.
