Previously, I called on readers of this blog to contact their Members of Congress to lend their support for the return of the right of Habeas Corpus. As it now stands, many of the laws that have been passed since 9/11 have weakened this Constitutionally-protected right. Indefinite imprisonment without judicial review is unconstitutional and it is un-American on a fundamental level.
The Senate will be voting on the "Habeas Corpus Restoration Act of 2007" (S.185) in just a few days. Now is the time to contact your Senators and express to them that you want this bill passed. Please do so regardless of whether or not you followed through on my earlier call for action.
WorkingAssets has a form available to make this easy to do. You can find it here.
