Precisely.

“Enemy combatant”? T’aint no such thing. And the taint is on our government.

Of all the pernicious things this Congress has allowed the Bushists to get away with, the willful denial of habeas corpus may prove in the long run to be one of the worst.

I wouldn’t chain anyone to the floor and make them stand against their will, but if they want to filibuster, stand and deliver.

Let’s stop with the theater unless Reid makes them actually filibuster.

If there is no war, they are criminals and have all of the rights of criminals.

The way they are going about it, it might be impossible to convict the real criminals among them.

They keep looking for short-cuts when it would be easier to do things properly, and the rubberstampers in Congress have been going along with this crap.
