Matt Yglesias comments on Republican Senator Brownback’s desire to apply term limits to Federal Judges.

Steve Clemons asks a “question” of newest Democratic Primary entrant Bill Richardson:

Thinkprogress has an exchange between our Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter.

GONZALES: I meant by that comment, the Constitution doesn’t say, “Every individual in the United States or every citizen is hereby granted or assured the right to habeas.” It doesn’t say that. It simply says the right of habeas corpus shall [...]

I’ve learned via Fred Wilson that the New York Times is doing video obituaries.
