Oh, Lord help us.
The Democrats are going to let another terrorist attack happen if they keep giving all these rights to terrorists.
To: Lancey Howard
This is the kind of thing that the Republicans need to keep alive on the Senate floor forever. Keep it on the front page. Keep it on TV.

They can't let us go two more years without an attack in the US. If they do, then President Bush will have kept us safe, and they hate him too much to let that happen.

"Keep it on the front page. Keep it on TV." Yeah great idea, of course won't you have to find a Network and a Newspaper to go along with that?
Don't see that happening anytime soon.

I can just imagine some of the few remaining German and Japanese WWII commanders seeing this and thinking " if only we had people like this helping our side back then, things might have turned out different."

Like this wouldn't be vetoed by the President anyways.
To: SubMareener
But the Dems problem is that they can't let national security become a front burner issue again. They would lose badly over it. They hate President Bush, but love saving their own political skin even more.
Sad part is that their terrorist buddies also know this, but will come up and give them a political kick in the crotch just because they want to.

Fox News would likely be interested in this story. And it should make great fodder for talk radio. The point is to get the stroy out there to whatever extent possible. Of course, the Republicans would need to help their own cause by demogoging the rats shamelessly on this issue by constantly referring to it as
"A Bill of Rights for TERRORISTS!"It will be up to the Republicans to show Democrat voters what they did to America on election day.

"A Bill of Rights for TERRORISTS!" Leahy, who's freaking side are you on ?

Great. Didn't take long for the Dems to begin self destructing. Maybe they'll start some gays in the military and gun control and tax hike talk soon. This may be a fun two years after all.

They don't necessarily have the vote for it. I suspect Lieberman and perhaps Webb will not go for it. The 3 military guys who made the deal (McCain, Graham, Warner) will not agree. And the Maine Twins are less likely to bring out something that has been decided recently.

In 1996, Clinton signed the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act which makes it more difficult for murder defendants to have their habeas corpus appeals heard in federal court.
So American citizens (albeit murderers) will have a difficult time having their habeas corpus appeals heard, but terrorists will be granted the RIGHT!
If we all don't call our elected officials about this, we're useless.

They want rights for our enemies, that should have been shot dead long ago, and meanwhile persecute eight of our Marines at Camp Pendleton?
Can we ever get this government turned right-side-up and frontward again?

This has .00000001% chance of getting 60 votes for cloture and if some whacked Senators managed to get it through it has 0% chance the President will sign.
