A fight over civil liberties is the last thing Obama needs, but he'll have one on his hands if he listens to people like Stuart Taylor.
The gist of the problematic is this: civil liberties, human rights and their advocates are such tainted subjects that Obama should not provoke a fight in public. This is because the people will get the wrong idea. As usual, digby is correct. While failing to really try describing why, of course, rather than simply regretting the role of the political elite. Funny how that works.
