Making the rounds: big media, again, missed the point on important legislation:

During the bitter controversy over the military commission bill, which President Bush signed into law on Tuesday, most of the press and the professional punditry missed the big story. In the struggle for power between the three branches of government, it is not the presidency that "won." Instead, it is the judiciary that lost.

Considering that the most devisive and destructive crises this country has gone through were directly created by Supreme Court decisions, the occasional trimming of their powers is usually fine by me.
