Case in point:
Arlen Specter said that the bill (Military Commissions Act) sends us back 900 years because it denies habeas corpus rights and allows the President to detain people indefinitely. He also said the bill violates core Constitutional protections. Then he voted for it.

Read Pat Buchanan for a view of true conservatism.
