JUSTICE JOHNDOWD: SUPREME COURT JUDGE: It gives for the first time in our lifetime a right for people to be held in detention without their having committed an offence.
JUSTICE JOHNDOWD: This is a submission by the international commission of jurists and I speak only in that capacity of the group that put this together.
JohnDowd has pointed out in his submission, or the submission points out, you don't obviously adopt all aspects of the submission -- that the new laws would mean arresting and holding the whole family of a suspected terrorist.
John McCain -- despite his status as a war hero -- is a meanspirited, hot-tempered, opportunistic, philandering, hypocritical political climber who married a comely beer heiress and used her daddy's money to get elected to Congress in a state he can hardly call home.
John McCain's nominating speech for candidate Bob Dole was the best of the 1996 Republican convention, according to the pundits.
Boil it down, and there are five reasons the members of the national press, by their own admission, love John McCain: He's a war hero; he's a neopopulist; he reminds them of themselves; he's accessible; and, finally, they say, his image is genuine, not manufactured.
