A Return to Constitutional Law and
Other Miracles....



Hey, if you've had your fill of the Courts, today is a good day. And it's a day that the Courts have taken a major step in the right direction.



They wisely ruled that you can’t detain people in our Cuban facility without bringing charges against them.



Simple. But a right denied is like a right not possessed..



In other words, Habeas Corpus is to be extended to those Prisoners of War withering away in our prison system against whom no charges have been brought.



This victory for Civil Rights will mean that all detained prisoners of War, held without access to Habeas Corpus in the past, can now appeal to have their case heard at the Federal level.



It is a victory for Civil Rights and a slam at the president who seemed to think he had the right to detain prisoners without placing charges against them.



The bottom line: Unless the Government is prepared to charge the accused, they should be free to return to society.



Sometimes, even justice wins one!



May it be the first of many Court decisions against the arbitrary decisions of the man who thinks he resides above the law and the return of justice to these tired shores.
