What does this have to do with civil forfeiture? Drug case defendants' personal assets are theoretically their ill-gotten gains. The Gitmo defense lawyers are being paid with money contributed to the ACLU. Does the Bush administration think that's "dirty" money, too, or is providing a defense in a U.S. tribunal aiding terrorism?

How is it that neocons like Lieberman for years have been telling us that we can't believe anything that a radical Islamic group says in English and, suddenly, when somebody from Hamas turs up saying that serves the partisan needs of the GOP, you can take it to the bank?

Any hope of having a moderate Supreme Court in out lifetimes will die if a Democrat isn't elected president in 2008.

What's the role of McCain's favorite (former) Democrat, Joe Lieberman, in l'affair Hagee? Lieberman spoke to the inner circle of Hagee's Christian Zionist group in Washington last summer and compared him to Moses. Lieberman represents a state that is over 40% Catholic (twice the precentage as in Arizona) but somehow his embrace of the bigot Hagee has attracted little attention outside of liberal blogs; indeed, the story wasn't covered at all in the Hartford Courant or other Connecticut newspapers. Lieberman drew about 55% of the Catholic vote to defeat Ned Lamont in '06 -- does he take their support for granted?
