When George signs the Military Commissions Act, our liberties and freedoms as guaranteed under our historic Bill of Rights will be trashed. This bill removed any protections we have been previously afforded by allowing the Judiciary and Police Powers to ignore any petitions under Habeas Corpus. (Tell me what crime I am being charged with or release me). Here, Keith Olbermann lays it out for you. Never, since the signing of the Magna Carta back in 1215, has our historic Common Law been under such attack, now opening the door for Fascism, fear and terror as was used by lawless governments well documented in the annals of history. Shameful as is such legislation and leadership, we only have ourselves to blame. Jefferson, and Franklin were right. Liberty can not survive when the heats of the governed cease to govern themselves.
