Full story at www.thebluestate.com Today, Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) submitted legislation that if passed would restore habeas corpus and outlaw torture in hope of at least doing something to revitalize American image abroad and live up to our belief in the rule of law. Dodd, who is also a 2008 Democratic presidential candidate, went on CNN's The Situation Room and promoted his legislation: Under the Military Commissions Act, passed just last year, the government is allowed to hold any U.S. citizen indefinitely if they are even suspected of being a threat to national security. Dodd wants to change that, and make sure that anyone being held has a right to a trial. Most importantly, a vote on this bill will force Republican lawmakers to take a stand: either you support habeas corpus, or you reject it. Either way, take a stand.
