Holy ^%$#!

That means the US just violated the core fundamentals
of over 200 years of due process over absolutely
nothing. Actually, not quite nothing. Over a 'smoke
and mirrors' media show produced by John Ashcroft
for the purpose of shredding our most basic legal
protection against abuse by the state.

It's this monkeying with the law -
Americans as 'enemy combatants' -
that is the greatest danger now.
This is EXACTLY how the Nazis did
it. They re-wrote their laws to
make Jews into people not entitled
to protection under the law first. Once
that was accomplished, the state bureaucracy
took over and turned the mass extermination
of innocent people into a budget item.

This has to be the gravest Constitutional
crisis in well over 100 years. In fact,
jailing people indefinitely without charges
and denying them access to an attorney has
NEVER been officially done in this country
since its first day as far as I know.

Where are all the groups that normally manage
to scream bloody hell over trivialities? The
silence on the rapid degeneration of the US
legal system is deafening.
