Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

There's a new Supreme Court opinion out ("Medellin"), finding that neither the federal courts nor the federal executive branch (i.e., W) can tell state courts to give a foreigner a new trial solely on the grounds that he wasn't given access to his consulate. It's almost as exciting as my description makes it sound. I have an inchoate, ill-informed opinion on it, but I'm not going to tell you because it's past my bed time. But check out the Volokh Conspiracy.
I may or may not update this entry tomorrow with ignorant bleatings of my own.
