Strange. I don't see any Republicans defending what their party is doing.
Immanuel, write to them anyway....Leahy and Dodd are going to try it again. They aren't giving up until the constitution is restored.
Our founding fathers thought habeas corpus was the most important amendment for our liberty and republic. Hamilton would accuse Bush of being a despot today.
Here is what Alexander Hamilton said in the Federalist Papers.
Bill of Rights
Document 7
Alexander Hamilton, Federalist, no. 84, 575--81
28 May 1788
I did write to him. It wasn't until after I sent the email that I realized it was Wednesday and the vote had already been cast and my thought was the same as yours. Even if the vote for cloiture failed this time, the issue would come up again.
Not that I expect Senator Martinez to give a damned about what I say anyway.
I don't recognize you, so I am not sure what you know about me, but I am a RECOVERING Republican. I cannot "defend" what our current Republican leaders are doing because 1) it is defenseless and 2) it is these kinds of acts that drove me from the party in the first place.
