Feingold now speaking out on Senate floor against Bush's detainee bill!

[flpoljunkie]

On C-Span2. He says the bill, although better, remains deeply flawed.

[gasperc]

1. flawed? I can be plucked off the street

it's more than flawed, what stops the government from insisting I'm an alien and holding me secretly and indefinately without a writ of habeus corpus?

[flpoljunkie]

5. Feingold shares and explicitly expressed your concerns.

[Sugarcoated]

2. I'm so glad he's getting his say on this!

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

3. The Amendment May Pass....

But the bill is definitely going to pass. The repubs have not engaged in this whole Fucking CHARADE for nothing. They have a mission to protect their DICTATOR, and will do whatever it takes to try and cover his ASS.

I continue to be ashamed to be an American. It's only going to get worse.

4. The Judge killer Cornyn

accusing him of perpetrating a myth - I hope Russ can answer that!

[grizmaster]

6. yeah, it's about 147 pages out of 147 pages worth of "flawed"

C'mon Russ, call for a filibuster. The foundations of democracy are counting on you standing up to the despots

7. Sen Leahy (up right before him) was sterling, as well.

Among many thing he said, Bush-Cheney bill

- Unamerican
- Unconstitutional (conditions for suspending habeus corpus clearly not met)
- Designed to protect Bush and Cheney from SCOTUS ruling that they had abused their powers and violated the rule of law.

- Embraces Bush-Cheney "Pre 1255 mentality" (pre- Magna Carta.)
