Senator Chris Dodd of Conn. has introduced a Bill seeking to restore that ancient right of Habeous Corpous recently ceded by the Repubican ruled Congress to it's Fuhrer and the mighty leader alone.

Here is Senator Dodds site:

and the text announcing his Bill. I urge everyone who values the Universal Rights of Man to support Senator Dodd and anyone else so bravely seeking to undo this truly evil un American betrayal of those rights earned by the shed blood of our ancestors.

Dodd Introduces Effective Terrorists Prosecution Act; Brings Terrorists to Justice, Honors America's Good Name

November 16, 2006Washington- Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT), an outspoken opponent of the Military Commission Act of 2006, today introduced legislation which would amend existing law in order to have an effective process for bringing terrorists to justice. This is currently not the case under the Military Commission Act, which will be the subject of endless legal challenges.

As important, the bill would also seek to ensure that U.S. servicemen and women are afforded the maximum protection of a strong international legal framework guaranteed by respect for such provisions as the Geneva Conventions and other international standards, and to restore America’s moral authority as the leader in the world in advancing the rule of law.

"I take a backseat to no one when it comes to protecting this country from terrorists," Sen. Dodd said. "But there is a right way to do this and a wrong way to do this. It’s clear the people who perpetrated these horrendous crimes against our country and our people have no moral compass and deserve to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. But in taking away their legal rights, the rights first codified in our country’s Constitution, we’re taking away our own moral compass, as well."
