Habeas what, now?
They are gone now. We can't change that. We can stop it from being abused further though.
Right to speedy and fair trial any one? HELLOOOOO AMERICA? WHERE IS THE REVOLUTION TO BREAK THIS KID OUT OF JAIL????
Evidence? "They don't need no stinkin evidence"i posted in another thread a while ago that a PATRIOT is on the list of government definitions of extremists.
a 10th grader?
NO RECORD?
NOTHING FOUND?
how much longer are they going to hold him without evidence?
Which means its time it gets repealed.
Who would repeal this? The republicans put this in and now the democrats get to take advantage of it. I AM NOT ADVOCATING CIVIL WAR HERE. We have to repeal it. They will not.
This is a political alley oop. They both want this for their own benefit. It serves the government, not the people.
This will be something we address on the 17th...
Whats on the 17th?
Habeus corpus anyone?
But wait a minute. The patriot act was passed to protect us from those scary terrorists I thought?

I don't know either...
Maybe we should buy some more ammo & MREs just in case though
I'd like to know too.
Unfortunately the people in power now are (in almost every case) worse in every regard than their predecessors. And that's saying something.
The big problem with the Patriot Act wasn't how it was intended or used during the time of the previous administration, but rather the potential for abuse that will become fully realized during this administration and those to follow.
You see? This guy gets it. In everything, the problem is not the "thing" its the "people that use the thing". Some of you may have heard the phrase "Guns don't kill people. People kill people." Well, the patriot act doesn't abuse people's rights, a tyrannical government does.
But, regardless, have any of you every thought that this kid might actually be GUILTY? I'm just saying, he might be. The problem is, we may never know. Thats the deal with Habeas Corpus... It cuts down on that BS.
Basically, we have a fine government. We just need more honesty, integrity and transparency. All the laws in the world won't help anyone if they aren't followed or people just make stuff up. Vote for honest men and the laws won't matter because they'll always use them for good.
