Someone send me some medication. Something must be wrong with me. I agree — or mostly agree — with Charles Krauthammer. There is a need to bring the Sunnis into the Iraqi government, which will require a declaration of amnesty for insurgents.

Some editorials on yesterday’s Hamdan decision that the president ought to read, but probably won’t:

• The Boston Globe, No blank check for Bush
• The Los Angeles Times, Bush vs. the Constitution
• The New York Times, A Victory for the Rule of Law
• The Philadelphia Inquirer, Restoring key rights
• The Washington Post, A Victory for Law

And Dan Froomkin’s Whitehouse Briefing column offers a terse thumbs-up for a ruling that re-establishes constitutional checks and balances while Eugene Robinson sums it up this way: (T)he Supreme Court finally called George W. Bush onto the carpet yesterday and asked him the obvious question: What part of ‘rule of law’ do you not understand?”
