These comments directly connect to my last post. To show I am not being partisan and that Harry Reid isn't the only Senator to vote for a bill he thinks is unconstitutional I give you Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA) who just might have given us the most blatant recent example of this kind of two-faced nonsense.
In his case, Senator Specter first announced that he would not vote for the Military Commissions Act with the habeas provisions intact because he believed they were unconstitutional, then voting for the Act , he explained that he hoped the courts would sort it out. However hypocritical it is to vote for a law you believe is unconstitutional and want the court to strike down, it adds a whole level of irony when the part you want to strike down is the part that strips courts of jurisdiction.
