When did I lose it? Last time I checked, they still had to tell me what I was charged with, give me a trial and provide evidence that I committed the crime I was accused of.

There is such a thing as a "writ of habeas corpus". If you feel like a judge made a decision that was inappropriate, you can file a writ of habeas corpus for another judge to change the decision that was made. But don't be fooled. The rules "on paper" are just that. They say the judges don't have the "balls" to change other judges decisions since they are colleagues and have to eat lunch together.

I don't know where you get your information from but I promise you the Habeas Corpus is very much alive. The Federal Statutes read that the " Writ of Habeas Corpus Is a Writ of Right and shall NEVER be Suspended unless in time of war and then and only then Congress is the ONLY entity in Government that can suspend the Writ of Habeas Corpus".
GOD BLESS/GOOD LUCK!!

Since when do we no longer have habeas corpus?

I think it's a problem that we don't allow women to be topless at pools, beaches, parks, their front yard, etc. I think it's a problem that we spend billions of money for breast cancer research, and all women have to do, is stop wearing bras, and there's the answer. But, women don't want to give them up, go figure.
So my answer, go figure. Nothing makes sense anymore these days.

Yes, it is. It is very troubling ot me that the possibility exist to lock people up with no due process, for the crime of disagreeing with the party or person that is in charge. I am not saying that it will happen but now it can and that would put us in lock step with Russia and China. That is never good.

Of course it is a problem. The president takes an oath to uphold the Constitution. How can eliminating fundamental constitutional protections be considered upholding it?
For me, this is one of the most damning indictments of Bush.

No. But I'm a US citizen who obeys the law, I still have my rights.
