Habeas Corpus, What a Concept
By a five to four margin, the Supreme Court of these United States upheld the constitutional privilege of habeas corpus for you and the detainees at Guantanamo. I just can't imagine why the ruling wasn't unanimous. It does show how careful we must be in the upcoming election to make sure we elect a president thinks the Constitution is more than "just a goddamned piece of paper." It is exactly in times of great danger that we must be most diligent in defending the Constitution. As Justice Anthony Kennedy said, "The laws and Constitution are designed to survive, and remain in force, in extraordinary times."
