The smartest guy on the Court needs to check his evidence

It is a truism that, regardless of what one thinks of Justice Scalia's views, nobody can doubt that he is whip smart, the biggest brain on the Supreme Court of the United States. That may be so (or not, as little evidence is provided for comparisons), but Justice Scalia's recent dissent in the case involving habeas corpus rights for Guantanamo detainees demonstrates a need to revisit standards for evidence. The case is reported by a Truthout legal correspondent, but backed up by a report from Seton Hall Law School and government documents.
