Radley Balko is one of the best, most measured and seasoned writers on criminal justice reform and his critique here is worth reading. I didn't even know this law existed, but hearing it described...yikes. I do wonder if perhaps there aren't ten Republican Senators who could be convinced to vote for cloture on this, because of its flagrant abuse of habeus corpus, but then I remember that Republicans are primarily interested in punishment, not justice.
