Habeas Wrapup, Huck Oppo, the Future of the Presidency

In class, I promised more information on the writ of habeas corpus and "court-stripping." Click the links for that information.

See Geoff's post below on Huckabee's "Welcome to the NFL" experience, which is now happening with considerable fury:

• LA Times headline: "Parole officials: Huckabee pushed rapist's release."
• AP headline: "Huckabee Wanted to Isolate AIDS Patients."

In class this week, we shall consider the following questions:

• Who will be the next president?
• What legacy will Bush leave to his successor?
• How are changes in economics, technology, and international relations likely to affect the institution?
