Reason #12,362 why conservatives and the Republicans are evil

The Supreme Court narrowly decided last week that the right of habeas corpus still exists and needs to be enforced, even by the US government. Yes, there was a question about that among the craziest fringe groups ever to exist: the Republican Party and its appointed justices on the Court. You see, the vote was only 5-4. There are 4 justices on our current Supreme Court that believe habeas corpus--a basic human right encoded over 750 years ago in the Magna Carta--should be discarded. One vote is all that stands between our country and complete disavowal of any claim to modern civilization, and there isn't much we can do about that for a long time.
Even if Obama wins in November he won't be able to affect the balance of ideology on the Court. Barring some physical calamity, none of the wretched 4 (Roberts, Alito, Thomas, or Scalia) judges are going anywhere for many years to come, because they are all fairly young. (Selling one's heart and soul to Beezelbub has its benefits, clearly.) We can only hope/pray that the other 5 retire during the tenure of someone sane, and that is something we can do something about: stop voting for Republicans at all levels, until even one demonstrates the mental acuity and character demanded of a squirrel. The current crop certainly doesn't qualify under those stringent conditions . . .
