Concerning the Senate's passing of the bill suspending habeus corpus, Patrick Leahey's response to the following question was super-lame:
Amy Goodman: Senator Leahy, this was not a close vote: 65 to 34. The twelve Democrats who joined with the Republicans, except for Senator Chafee of Rhode Island, the twelve Democrats are Tom Carper of Delaware, Tim Johnson of South Dakota, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey, as well as Senator Menendez of New Jersey, Bill Nelson of Florida, Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Senator Pryor of Arkansas, Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, Ken Salazar of Colorado, Debbie Stabenow of Michigan and Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut. They joined with the Republicans. You are working very hard to get a Democratic majority in the Senate in these next elections and in Congress overall. What difference would it make?Lame-ass Answer HereI'm sorry, but the so-called "argument" that Dems in Congress would be better than Reps is looking weak. If you can't stand up for habeus corpus, you need to go away. Instead of sending your ass to Cuba we need to build a time machine & send you to 1930's Italy!
