Habeas Corpus, R.I.P. (1215 - 2006)
With a smug stroke of his pen, President Bush is set to wipe out a safeguard against illegal imprisonment that has endured as a cornerstone of legal justice since the Magna Carta.

"don't*dream*it*be*it" If I wait until I'm hauled off, it will be to late. I won't be able to do much with electrical wires hanging from my body, while being asked to confess to god knows what.

Aparently this gentleman thinks that the constitution should apply to non-americans.
Per this he probably supports nonusa people (illegals too) to get all the same rights & benefits too..
First off, its not even close what you are stating...
Btw, I am a independent voter/thinker and its obvious you arent.

The Millitary Commission Act specifically states it does not apply to American Citizens, (which is what the US Constitution does, it's not the Global Constitution). You might want to read the law instead of blogs.

No, he's not "set to wipe out our constitutional right against illegal imprisonment".
He's already done it.
