"So-called, quote, Habeas Corpus suits"

John McCain is calling yesterday's Boumediene v. Bush Supreme Court ruling "one of the worst decisions in the history of this country." Quote:

We are now going to have the courts flooded with so-called, quote, Habeas Corpus suits against the government, whether it be about the diet, whether it be about the reading material.

Calls to mind another bedrock right McCain gave the scare-quote treatment to a couple of years back.
