Hey, if you Googled it and somehow ended up with the impression that Cornyn might have supported granting Habeas Corpus rights and opposed the Bush Administration's wiretapping, that would definitely be worth a post raising the issue. But that wouldn't happen, because this isn't a fuzzy or subjective matter.
A Senator's stances on issues like these are simple, objective, easily falsifiable facts. This is one or two steps away from demanding a citation for "Barack Obama is a Democrat." Like, if you can't easily figure out for yourself whether it's true or false, the only possible reason is that you didn't care enough to try.
