I Can NOT Believe THIS!!!

wow.. so the congress just passed a bill taking AWAY Habaes Corpus Rights... UnFUCKINGbelieveable! I am so pissed! I can not believe what kind of a legislature we have right now and the audacity of this administration to so boldly demand that they get to do anything they want! This makes me want to drop everything, move back to the mainland and start throwing rocks at bush until he dies or has to leave office.

From Democracy Now! check it out:

On Capitol Hill, the Senate has agreed to give President Bush extraordinary power to detain and try prisoners in the so-called war on terror. The editors of the New York Times described the law as tyrannical. They said its passage marks a low point in American democracy and that it is our generation’s version of the Alien and Sedition Acts. The legislation strips detainees of the right to file habeas corpus petitions to challenge their own detention or treatment. It gives the president the power to indefinitely detain anyone it deems to have provided material support to anti-U.S. hostilities. Secret and coerced evidence could be used to try detainees held in U.S. military prisons. The bill also immunizes U.S. officials from prosecution for torturing detainees who the military and the CIA captured before the end of last year.

The Senate passed the measure sixty five to thirty four. Twelve Democrats joined the Republican majority. The House passed virtually the same legislation on Wednesday. Legal groups, including the Center for Constitutional Rights, are already preparing to challenge the constitutionality of the law in court.
