Slate.com offers up a story about the military lawyers who are sabotaging the "military tribunals" of the Guantanimo detainees.
This story is what makes me proud to be a lawyer. When I see lawyers standing up to the man I well up inside.
You see, these military lawyers took an oath to "defend the Constitution". They are doing that despite what their Commander-in-chief orders.
Refusal to participate in a blatant power-grab by the Executive is the kind of chutzpah our founding fathers used when the revolted against the other George (King George that is). Now, the current George is getting his comeuppance.
Go Bar.
