I really have to give Glenn Greenwald props for not taking the liberal line on this one; whatever I might think about his writing style, he always sticks by his principles, even if they result in outcomes that seem to be against his philosophy.

I have a lot of really strong feelings about this one, but Glenn's take on the matter seems more grounded than mine would, because he's a constitutional scholar and I'm not.

All I can say is that I have severe qualms about this decision, and I will probably have more to say on it in an entry later, once I'm less emotional about it.
