Habeas Down Again

Those strong civil libertarian Republicans have successfully filibustered the Habeas Restoration Act.

Will the media scream about their obstructionist tactics? Hell, they can't even bring themselves to call it the "F" word

The 56-43 vote against the bill, by Sens. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and Arlen Specter, R-Pa., fell four votes shy of the 60 needed to cut off debate.

Whaaaa? 56-43 vote against? Oh yeah, up is down and down is up these days.
