What the frack is John McCain on?

I've seen this quote in a thousand different places, so I'm just going discuss the original quote from John McCain:

We're now going to have the courts flooded with so-called "habeas corpus suits" against the government, whether it be about the diet, whether it be about the reading material. Our first obligation is the safety and security of this nation and the men and women who defend it. This decision will harm our ability to do that.

Let me be the first to applaud the Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling stating that wherever the United States exerts sole authority over people, the rule of US law is intact and not to be overridden by the rule of men.

But what the hell is McCain on? If "the courts are flooded," so the frack what? Isn't it his duty as someone seeking the office of president to see to it that the courts are funded, maintained, and operated in a manner consistent with the constitution? You know, that whole Amendment 6 thing, "Right to a speedy trial, confrontation of witnesses" thing.

So far, McCain has dissed the First Amendment, the Sixth Amendment, and Article I section 8. Can this man really swear to uphold the Constitution?
