Habeas Corpus A Right That Cannot be Given or Taken Away 06-07-07 mpg Senate Judiciary Committee Votes to Restore Habeas A quote...."The Senate Judiciary Committee today approved the Habeas Corpus Restoration Act, legislation that would allow prisoners to ask a judge to review the legality of their detentions through a writ of habeas corpus. The right of habeas corpus has existed for centuries to protect individuals from wrongful detentions by the executive, but has been trampled by the Bush administration under the leadership of Alberto Gonzales and Donald Rumsfeld." A) Bush will just veto it anyway even if it passes both houses and - B) NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO - NOR CAN THEY - TAKE HABEAS CORPUS AWAY FROM ANYBODY ! If the authorities can't "produce the body" i.e. show the evidence (in a court of law) for why they've arrested or incarcerated someone....everything they say or do from that point on is pure fiction, a lie, a fable, a fantasy, not supported by the facts. Whatever they say is a complete figment of their fevered imaginations. As such everything done without Habeas Corpus is in fact, null and void. The authorities by negating Habeas Corpus are stating that they have no proof to support their actions and accusations and that they are willfully going to refuse to provide any. All actions they take against any individual from that moment on should be considered a crime…all their actions have to be treated as unlawful incarceration, assault, battery and murder. For the authorities to say "we're taking away Habeas Corpus" is the exact equivalent of them saying "we're about to take actions which will not be supported by any evidence or facts, nor any moral or legal code. We intend to become criminals with NO justification for what we're about to do." The "Senate" or "Government" CANNOT "give" these rights back to a person...nor can they "take them away" in the first place, for they are inherent in natural law. Either the authorities provide evidence for their actions or they don't. Either they are engaging in lawful conduct or they are not. Either this natural right has been codified by a law abiding society….or it has not. All the Senate Judiciary Committee has done by their approval of this piece of legislation is state they want the Armed Forces and the Executive Branch of the United States to cease engaging in unlawful and criminal behavior....that's all - mpg |
