We all remember that the vast majority of Americans thought the evidence against O.J. Simpson was very strong, and yet he was acquitted, thanks to Johnnie Cochran’s “If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit” statement and bollixed-up police work during the murder investigation.
Now word comes out that the lone American on Saddam’s defense team has filed a writ with SCOTUS, asking that his detention by American forces since his capture be declared unconstitutional.
IS THIS INSANE OR WHAT? This only a few days after SCOTUS ruled that enemy combatants have the rights to access (and tie up) our courts just like any other American citizen.
Cox and Forkum have taken Cochran’s rhyme and twisted it to fit Saddam’s upcoming trial. I’ve got a better one: “If the charge is legit, his life must QUIT!”
