Proclaim liberty throughout the land
5:03 PM
Democrats want terrorists to have habeas corpus. Today they have argued against doing away with this protection. John Kerry gave us a lesson on the Constitution.
Sadly, for Democrats, no one is seeking suspension of habeas corpus for Amercans citizens. Of course, Democrats know this--just like they know that no one (who's to be taken seriously) is against immigration, only illegal immigration. The reason that Democrats are arguing against doing away with this precious protection for Americans is that they probably believe that most Americans have no idea what exactly this legislation is all about. They can use this ignorance by arguing against boogey man legislation in order to paint a useful picture of Republicans as political opportunists (no doubt, like Julius and Octavius Caesar) who are using the present crisis to establish tyranny.
Typical. It's the race card, the Social Secutiry card, or the freedom card. Clearly, the are running out of ideas.
