Reply #6: You're overdramatizing -- But it's still serious [View All]

I doubt this would be used in the foreseeable to deny habeus corpus in most normal circumstances. But it is still a bad precident, and lays the groundwork for much potential abuse in the future.

And it's just bad on principle. We can't be tossing out basic Constitutional protections. That's a slippery slope.

What pisses me off is that the MSM and the MSDems have not been more openly critical of that aspect of the Christmas Package Bush is demanding.

Democrats (and Republicans with any brains) ought to be fighting over that as much as over the geneva Conventions.
