Habeas Corpus Action updated
 |
See
Christy for details and some helpful talking points.
If you haven’t read Chris
Dodd’s guest post please do. He talks about the
fight to restore habeas corpus, with his bill, which is co-sponsored by
Patrick Leahy, coming up for a cloture vote tomorrow.
Then get on the phone. These senators need a push, though why United States
senators don’t understand the importance of habeas corpus to the very ideals
of America is beyond me. That’s how far Congress has fallen. Numbers (thanks
to reader katymine) and names are below:
