Habeas Corpus. Produce the body.
Produce the dead body of democracy.
Habeas Corpus is a corner stone of a just judicial system. It’s a cornerstone of democracy.

If you’re not up to speed on this, the Military Commissions Act is now law. Contrary to what (for example) the Globe And Mail says, this is not a “tough on terror” bill. This is a suspension of the democratic process, and a sea change in American law….

Thanks for the link! And thanks to linking to wmtc in general. Are you a new reader?
p.s. your link to the post is really to comments. you probably want .html without “#comments” after it.

Yes. Absolutely. A Congress that can’t be bothered to meet, to discuss issues, to pass decent legislation, to guard teen aged boys from pedophiles, but can pass this atrocity. We have to vote them out.
L-girl,
yes, I’m a new reader. And yes, I knew the link was wrong, just too tired to fix it last night. Was out for the evening watching “Iraq for Sale” – good film if you can catch it somewhere.
