Republicans (and Lieberman) betray America and Democracy again!
65 US Senators (mostly Republican, but with too many Democrats) passed the Military Commissions Act of 2006. This act, among other things, authorized the suspension of Habeas Corpus.
Now, the Democratic majority of the Senate is attemting to repeal the suspension clause.
On Wednesday morning, September 19th, these Republican Senators sided with George W. Bush in his betrayal of the most basic and precious foudation block of Democracy... Habeas Corpus.

Hold their feet to the fire!
Now, Harry Reid needs to bring this back to a vote as often as the rules allow and advertise the names of those willing to betray American values and freedoms until, one by one, they roll over and do the right thing or they get their asses handed to them and are thrown out of office by REAL Americans!
