Extraordinary Times

Glenn Greenwald, in his article this morning "U.S. Supreme Court restores habeas corpus, strikes down Military Commissions Act," quotes this extraordinary section from the decision (pdf):

The laws and Constitution are designed to survive, and remain in force, in extraordinary times. Liberty and security can be reconciled; and in our system, they are reconciled within the framework of law.

Amen, Justices, amen.
