AMERICA's SHAME - Death of habeas corpus & bill of rights

BUT HEY WHO GIVES A CRAP!! YAWN...

---------------------------------------


By Keith Olbermann - Anchor, 'Countdown'

First thing this morning, the president signed into law the Military Commissions Act of 2006, which does away with habeas corpus, the right of suspected terrorists or anybody else to know why they have been imprisoned, provided the president does not think it should apply to you and declares you an enemy combatant.

Loss of Writ is a lie!

Article 1, Section 9, Clause 2 - "The Privilege of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it."

Article 10 - "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

The Unitied States government was not granted the power to suspend the Great Writ by the Constituion and has no such power.
