Corpus

Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) have a bill to rescind the evil legislation signed by Bush with his GOP Senate enablers a year ago, the one that essentially suspended one of the bedrock rights our great nation was founded on, habeas corpus.

You know, post-9/11 thinking. You know, creeping fascism.

Habeas corpus means you have to be charged and know that charge. They can't just come and throw a bag over your head, and whisk you away into some unknown hellhole forever.

Let Keith Olbermann and his guest, Constitutional Law Professor Jonathan Turley explain it.

Oddly enough, all the Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee besides Specter voted against the bill. Voted against protecting our Constitution. Essentially voted against America.

Patriots or Tories?

I caught this headline on Yahoo and was hoping it was a typo.:"Busch placed on probation for reckless driving." Damn! How about "Bush placed on probation for reckless leadership?"
