Before you behead Menendez and other Dems up for election

who voted for the torture bill, do yourself a favor tomorrow morning.

On your way to work ask strangers what "habeas corpus" means. They won't know. If Menendez voted no Kean would say he's weak on terror and would let terrorists go free based on some 'legal technicality'. And it would work. Hell, a third of America still thinks Saddam Hussein destroyed the World Trade Center and you think they'd understand an argument about the importance of habeas corpus?

Yeah, sure, they (Menendez and other Dems who voted yes)are posturing and yeah, they did it because they were afraid to say what they really feel. It's all about compromising in order to fight another day. Sometimes you have to suck it up and do things you don't want to do in order to survive.

Don't agree? Then enjoy the new senator from New Jersey, Tom Kean.
