Senate Republicans Block Vote on Indefinite Detentions |
Joe Lieberman voted with the Republican anti-Constitutionalists. Are
we surprised? He's been attending Hillary Clinton Fundy Christian
breakfasts, too. I'm waiting to hear that he's converted. That wouldn't
be a surprise, either. Lieberman is a total turncoat.

A BUZZFLASH NEWS ALERT
People for the American Way
Today, Senate Republicans blocked a vote on the restoration of habeas corpus
for certain foreign nationals held at Guantanamo Bay and on American soil,
allowing the President to continue asserting that he has the right to
imprison those suspected of being "enemy combatants" indefinitely, without
any means to challenge their detention.
Forty-two Republican senators and Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) voted against
closing off debate on the bill, effectively blocking it on a 56-43 vote.
Sixty votes would have been necessary to proceed.
Tanya Clay House, Public Policy Director for People For the American Way,
issued the following statement:
"This vote allows President Bush to continue his unprecedented assertions of
limitless power. As far as Congress is concerned, he can simply take foreign
nationals -- even immigrants living legally in the United States -- and lock
them up for as long he likes, with no meaningful review by an independent
court. That's not the American way. It raises the question of whether these
43 senators heard the judgment of the people last November, when they
resoundingly defeated many of the President's allies at the polls.
"With this vote, the Senate lost a chance to restore the image of our nation
as a nation of laws, a nation of justice. Once, people the world over had
faith that America was a country where you couldn't just suddenly
'disappear,' taken away by the police in the night, never to be heard from
again. Guilty or innocent, you would have your day in court."

Bye bye Habeas Corpus. Bye bye Constitution. Bye bye America.

Lieberman is becoming more and more of a jerk. If his last election were
held today, Lamont would win. I hope he changes party, loses next time,
and retires.

I doubt that Lieberman has the courage to become a
Republican. He's more comfortable being a hypocrite.
Poor Gore must gag every time he thinks of how close
that creature came to being his Vice President.

I know. He sang a completely different song when he was running with
Gore. I saw him on C-Span the other day arguing against the bill that
would have given the troops more rest between deployments. He was so
disgusting that I had to change the channel.
