Any chance of getting Habeas Corpus back? Making torture illegal?

[Junkdrawer]

You know, small unimportant things like that. Or would that upset the new bipartisan atmosphere? :shrug:

1. But that might

make them mad at us. It might look like revenge. We need to get behind the Joe Lieberman wing of the party now, for safety's sake!

On a more serious note: Yes! We should make that a priority.

5. Got to keep that powder dry for something important like

pretending the 9/11 Commission was not a sham.

2. to me, the very first thing on the Dems' agenda should be . . .

overturning the Military Commissions Act . . . let George veto it, and then start leaning on enough moderate Repugs to override his ass . . .

3. Good question.

My agenda:

1) Getting rid of unauditable fraud-made-easy voting machines.

2) Breaking up the mass media mega-opolies.

3) Piecing back to together our shredded Constitution and Bill of Rights.

4) Cleaning up some of the mess in and then getting out of Iraq.

5) Addressing our health care crisis.

10. Very well said.

And I think that #2 will be especially important in addressing the others.

4. Patrick Leahy claims it's a priority

That's what he said (specifically) on TOTN today.

He was hoarse and weary!

7. I'm liking Pat more and more lately...

Thanks. :hi:

11. Awesome! nt

6. And

What will come of the "signing statements"?

9. my guess is that is probably going to be struck down and soon

i have been hearing how people are doing things about that and taking to court. i am also hearing it will not hold. and it isnt like we dont have hc. citizens do. there is just the possibility bush could use enemy combatant saying american doesnt have the right. that is only a possibility
