[QUOTE="Dale00, post: 1677171, member: 688"] Our nation was intended to be a nation of laws and not men.That is to say that our rights are guaranteed under law and not entrusted to the good will of those who hold power. This legislation needs to be overturned. Interesting that Lincoln did the same thing: [URL="http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/historicdocuments/a/lincolnhabeas.htm"]http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/historicdocuments/a/lincolnhabeas.htm[/URL] FYI A writ of habeas corpus is a judicially enforceable order issued by a court of law to a prison official ordering that a prisoner be brought to the court so it can be determined whether or not that prisoner had been lawfully imprisoned and, if not, whether he or she should be released from custody. The right of writs of habeas corpus are granted in Article I, Section 9, clause 2 of the Constitution, which states, "The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it." But to take the other side for a minute: We do not know what security briefings the senators have been given. Consider that perhaps there are plots underway to carry out major attacks against us in this country a la September 11th. We arrest the leader of that plot. Do we allow him access to a lawyer? If we do and he uses his lawyer to pass the code word for "attack now" on to his as yet unarrested team members, then something very bad happens. Also interesting to consider if this is going to come into play in the case of those Tulsa used car dealers accused of funneling money to terrorists. [/QUOTE]
