Now Nottingham is grooming the snidely Kendall (Guy Pearce) as his heir, while employing Skeeter in the lowly capacity of light-bulb changer. At the hotel his ally is do-nothing Mickey (Russell Brand); his other adversary is the officious Aspen (Lucy Lawless of Xena renown); and the potential prize and troublemaker is Nottingham's sexy daughter Violet (Teresa Palmer).

If this were done, he says, "avowed terrorists" might walk away "on a technicality." In light of recent Supreme Court decisions making the writ of habeas corpus available to Guantánamo detainees, this is precisely how those detainees are to be tried, regardless of venue. To downsize a constitutional right into a technicality in the field of American jurisprudence is equivalent to considering gravity a technicality...
