Bush Dissolves The U.S. Constitution - Habeus Corpus

This is old, Oct. 2006 but just as relevant as ever

HABEUS CORPUS – or “[We command] that you have the body” in Latin. It is the name of a legal action through which a person can seek relief from unlawful detention of themselves or another person. The writ of habeas corpus has historically been an important instrument for the safeguarding of individual freedom against arbitrary state action.

What this means is that, if you’re targeted by the authorities for "whateverthehell" you have the misfortune of being busted for, the Habeus Corpus card comes into play by saying, “oh yeah?... prove it! Shoe me the body if you say I killed someone!” No body… no crime.

Or, in other words “demanding that a prisoner be brought before the court, together with proof of authority, so that the court can determine whether that custodian has lawful authority to hold that person, or, if not, the person should be released from custody”

So what?? Well, Bush just got rid of it last year. Most likely you and 95% of the country didn’t know about it, since it happened during the premiere of Lost and American Idol Countdown.



Olbermann goes off against what Bush has done. I love this man!!
