US Senate Fails To Reinstate Habeas Corpus 790
Khyber notes that yesterday a vote in the US Senate fell four votes short of what was needed to restore habeas corpus — the fundamental right of individauls to challenge government detention. Here is the record of the vote on the Cloture Motion to restore Habeas Corpus. Article 4 of the US Constitution states that habeas corpus shall not be suspended unless in cases of rebellion and invasion when the public safety may require it.

Well said! The only reason I care about freedoms and rights is to provide a "function for borders" (and immigration too - gotta have that).
I hear you, dude! I just can't tell the difference. Some guy lives in France and claims not to be a US citizen but, dude, I just don't know what that means.
I hear you! The US should feel free to take freedoms and rights away from people in other countries whenever it wants! The USA needs to send a clear message that it doesn't care about rights and freedoms of people in other countries and the best way to do this is for the USA to aggressively take away the rights of people in other countries.
