New rules for DOJ ball

Whether or not the Obama Administration closes down Guantanamo Bay soon after Inauguration Day, the Department of Justice's role in counterterrorism is going to change:

• The cases against many detainees, at Guantanamo Bay and other facilities, have already been falling apart.
• The Obama Administration will likely not pursue cases as vigorously as its predecessor. For example, by choosing not to contest federal court rulings, such as the recent one concerning the treatment of the Uighur prisoners, Guantanamo will begin to depopulate. In other situations where the Bush DOJ contested decisions, an Obama DOJ is less likely to make the same legal challenges.
• The DOJ is likely to be one of the main targets of the Obama team's planned "personnel review." If you're working for the DOJ, and you're a graduate of Patrick Henry University, you might want to polish up your resume.
• On top of the existing Guantanamo-inspired Supreme Court rulings, more potential cases before the Court are in the works. Again, the Obama Administration can choose not to put up a fight, in which case, the depopulation of Guantanamo will acelerate that much more.

The only thing that might make this situation better is the comic spectacle of some who supported for the bogus "unitary executive" theory now arguing against Obama's presidential discretion in handling these cases. Don't discount the possibility.

I've heard rumors that Obama wants to move the Gitmo inmates to the US mainland and to continue the trial process. I'm all for bringing them into the mainstream of regular federal courts, but I realized the challenge isn't so clear given the crowded nature of our current prison system. Do we federalize a prison for these few hundred remaining inmates or parcel them out? I'd think centralization would be better, but realizing now that this isn't going to be easy.

Now it so happened, that, in spite of Emma's resolution of never marrying, there was something in the name, in the idea, of Mr. Frank Churchill, which always interested her.

She had frequently thought, -- especially since his father's marriage with Miss Taylor,—that if she were to marry, he was the very person to suit her in age, character, and condition.
