Catch 22: How to overcome the "No Habeas Corpus" clause?

[Junkdrawer]

No Supreme Court review unless there's an actual case.

No actual case without Habeas Corpus.

1. Yup bingo! Winner!

You hit the nail on the head Junkdrawer. That means American citizens shipped off to Gitmo or some other hellhole and given military tribunals. Not even a mention of the Bill of Rights, won't apply to American 'illegal noncombatants'.

Wish more people would realize that.

3. I don't think people have wrapped their heads around "No Habeas Corpus"...

yet.

It's called "The Great Writ" for a reason.

7. Or the Magna Carta or the Bill of Rights or

The Great Writ - the BACKBONE of our US Constitution. Without it all is lost...

8. no they have not

and apparently neither have the majority of senators. May they be caught up in the chimps tribunals someday,

:puke:

4. I'm guessing those rationalizing secret forever prisons

assume it will happen only to those with brown skin? :shrug:

9. As long as the M$M gives their audience reassurances,

I swear, some Americans won't EVER believe what has happen until they are dragged away...and even then I wonder.

Torture in the name of freedom?

2. Methinks there will be a way to challenge this in the SCOTUS

Maybe not for awhile though. It's just disgusting.

5. Yep, that's the kicker.

You're officially in a dictatorship.

6. The Supremes will find a way to address it...

...if a Democrat ever gets elected President. It only takes four votes for the SCOTUS to take a case, after all.

10. Let's think this through....

Mr. X goes missing.

Rumors are that Mr. X is at Gitmo, but the government denies all requests as to whom they are holding.

Now, what are Mrs. X's options?
