Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

>>>you can somehow imagine a far fetched possibility of a US citizen being trapped in the net of this law<<<


There are all kinds of far fetched possibilities of US citizens being trapped in all sorts of legal nets which is why there are safeguards in place. One of those safeguards has been removed now and I don't care how remote you think the possibilities are. Principle and due process - not luck has been and should continue to be the backbone of US justice system imo. By the way.........my stance on this is more libertarian than liberal and yours more fascist than conservative.



>>>that it is better to let the terrorists do whatever they wish.<<<


Leaving habeas corpus alone is letting terrorists do whatever they want? Idiotic arguments like that is a big reason for the republican party's collapse. It's gone from the majority party to the laughing stock of politics..........mostly because they're frozen with irrational fear of terrorists and almost hypnotic loyalty to George Bush. As pathetic as it is to watch it's been a good cleansing process for the country.
