What is Lindsay Graham Smoking? (A survey)
Talkleft's Jeralyn Merritt, blogging at the Huffington Post, reports on SC Senator Graham's astonishing amendment to the Senate Defense Appropriations Bill.
[It] would strip those designated by the Administration as enemy combatants of the ability to seek habeas review in federal courts. This is an end-run around the Supreme Court's decision in Rasul v. Bush which held Guantanamo detainees have the right to challenge the legality of their detentions.
Via Jeralyn, here's a link (pdf) to the text of the amendment. Absolutely outrageous. And if you have a Senator with the slightest chance of being a decent human being, you may want to write them a quick note.

And to pull a page from the right-wing playbook, I would say that, Senator, this is America! Why don't you go back to China for that kind of tyrranical rush?

Some would say our friend Lindsay is just angling for a spanking. But, really, what do you guess he is smoking? I know what Kenny B thinks he smokes. How about the rest of you?
