Only Ron Paul defends habeas corpus. Republicans act like fascists and pretend it doesn't exist and liberals pay lip service to it while being more fascist than Republicans. Habeas corpus is a fundamental pillar of liberty. Sadly, most Americans don't give a fuck for it.
Roosevelt suspended it during WWII for the nazi saboteurs, and Bill Clinton limited it in signing the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996. Read a history book, hockey puck.
It should be. What a disgrace along with Abu Ghraib. Terrorist recruitment tools at the expense of liberty.
They are dicks. What is your point. Lincoln also suspended habeas corpus, who was a statist prick who waged a bloodbath against his fellow Americans.
