"The Center for Constitutional Rights" is asking people who have these Senators to call them about protecting the right to challenge imprisonment in court (habeus corpus.)

The fight over the military commissions bills today isn’t about politics, it’s about lives, and it’s not over....both versions strip away the fundamental right to habeas corpus, the right to challenge your detention in a court of law, not to be locked up under the President’s say-so, guilty or innocent, never to be heard from again.

An amendment in play could take out this dangerous measure – please use our site to fax your senators and tell them to support the Specter-Levin Amendment on habeas corpus when it gets introduced. The bills are S.3901, The Military Commissions Act of 2006, sponsored by Senator Warner and S.3861, The Bringing Terrorists to Justice Act of 2006, sponsored by Senator Frist. Please call your Senators at [phone] IMMEDIATELY, especially if they are among the 26 we’ve identified below as critical in this fight.
