RESTORE HABEAS CORPUS NOW!

[Holly_Hobby]

Isn't this the most pressing issue? Seriously. How can you spend your minimum wage increase if you're in jail without rights?

[pissedoffprogressive]

1. AMEN

[AlamoDemoc]

2. indeed

[Tunkamerica]

3. I agree

[savemefromdumbya]

4. it would be useful!

[DoYouEverWonder]

5. That's item one

on Senator Leahy's agenda.

There was a thread about it on DU this morning.

[Holly_Hobby]

6. I hope they do something about it or....

we will have changed horses but not directions!

[flordehinojos]

7. YES!!!!!

[Holly_Hobby]

8. Harry Truman said.....

the will of the people is the law of the land!

[Ringo84]

9. YES! Right on! [end]

[Lerkfish]

10. actually, in my view, here's the order...

1. end torture
2. restore habeus corpus
3. establish transparent elections, all paper, no machines
4. bring back the troops
5. cut off funding to halliburton
6. Investigate, investigate, investigate.

[Holly_Hobby]

11. Agree whole-heartedly

I'll settle for #2 IF torture is first.

[earth mom]

19. I agree with your list except I would call #6 Impeachment. eom

[Lerkfish]

20. you have to investigate MORE than just Bush in this.

I agree I want him impeached, but there are a whole host of crimes that need to be unraveled. For one, I want the gag dropped on Sibel Edmunds, for another, I want the investigation into the plame outing, since fitzgerald seems concentrated on the perjury.
I want Hastert for his drug money ties to turkey. I want Rove for the Hatch act and voter suppressions
I want any and every crime the republicans did to be investigated, I want a NON whitewashed 911 commission report.

I want EVERYTHING. Impeachment is just a small part of it.

[Generator]

12. Yes, and thank you

We have not forgotten the stakes.

[Tiggeroshii]

13. This better happen soon after the new guys are sworn in... n/t

[Holly_Hobby]

14. Lest they forget....

their names on their doors are written in dry erase marker.

[mvd]

15. Oh, I agree

So many things Bush wrecked. This would be as good a start as any.

[Holly_Hobby]

16. Kick!

:kick:

[Selatius]

17. Bush already signed the legislation. We'd have to start over again, but...

Bush would likely veto such legislation repealing the one the Repub Congress passed. Hopefully, that veto of the Dem legislation will make him look terribly despotic.

[Holly_Hobby]

18. But, but, but.....

it's unconstitutional!

[robertpaulsen]

21. Yes. Getting back to post-1215 human rights should be our top priority.

:hi:

Otherwise, if we have a second New Pearl Harbor, anyone who even thinks about investigating the BFEE for criminal activity will be shipped off to one of those lovely new Halliburton camps.
