On losing habeas corpus posted 9-29-2006

 
The end of habeas corpus.

With the capitulation of the Senate, the dotard George W. Bush has undone 200 years of legal protection for all Americans, and the public has said nothing. It may not even be aware of the loss, despite the news coverage.

This is so deeply disturbing that one doesn't even know where to begin. If one needed more evidence of the aggressively witless bombast of the chief executive or what depraved, power-crazed jackals he has for counselors in Cheney and Rumsfeld, this would be it.
