Thank you!!!! I hate the fact that we live in a country where it's seen as politically expedient to vote *for* a bill that legalizes torture and eliminates legal rights for people accused of terrorism.
I wonder if people will start to care when Congress passes a bill that allows the police to hold *anybody* indefinitely without access to lawyers, or a right to a trial, or even to know what the charges against them are? Or when the police are allowed to torture suspects for a confession?

Gah. Don't get me started.
