"This is a constitutional requirement and it is fundamental that Congress not legislate contradiction to a constitutional interpretation of the Supreme Court," said Specter, R-Pa., chairman of the Judiciary Committee.

This is absolutely insane!

Specter, and others like him, actually believe we should fight a war in the courtroom. I'm astonished at the level of depraved indifference toward the future existence of the United States.

Is incremental treason still treason? I think so.

It is insane. Habeas Corpus, does certainly apply to U.S. citizens (Jose Padilla, Johnny Taliban) wherever held by the U.S. government. I can accept that the courts have held that it applies to foreigners held on U. S. soil. I cannot accept the idea that everybody in the world has access to U.S. courts because the U.S. government (right or wrong) is holding them on non U.S. soil. That is a matter strictly for the Executive branch otherwise each U.S. District Court becomes de facto a maker of foreign or military policy.
