LMAO. Do you have any idea how stupid you look, writing baloney like
this?
All that has been restored is the right of a person being detained by
our Government to REQUEST that the justification for his detainment
be REVIEWED by a court of law. That's all.
After all, we do declare in our Declaration of Independence that "all
men" have inalienable rights, one of them being Liberty unless we can
SHOW CAUSE for taking it away from a person.
That's what it means to be a Constitution-loving American, bub. Deal
with it.
We have provably detained, tortured, and then released (after years
of confinement) persons from Gitmo who we could not show were really
terrorists or enemy combatants. That's with the heavy bias in favor
of the government in terms of evidence that can be submitted
(heresay, evidence obtained from torture, secret evidence that the
accused cannot even rebut, etc.).
Constitution- and freedom-loving Americans cannot let the Government
act that way. Our recourse is through our elected representatives,
and that's where we're taking the issue.
