Habeus Corpus, the End of Law?

The author of this blog is writing this more for himself. There is a sense of grief tonight at the end of Habeus Corpus. A law was signed today to end the freedom of Americans. Any American can be put in jail without trial, and without knowing why they were put in jail. It really does seem to come down to the mood of the President. Anyone be declared an "enemy combatant" if they are disagreeable to the President and his Advisors.

This is a HUGE loss for America, and could lead to the end of the First Amendment. That's the Amendment that allows this author to state this opinion on the blog. It hasn't lead to the loss of the First Amendment yet. At least, not in the technicalities. Freedom of Speech was only possible because of "Habeus Corpus," also know in law as the "Great Writ".

The author is from a family of proud lawyers. The author is not lawyer himself. Look at it like this. Make any vehicles in Nascar illegal, and then continue to televise Nascar. Well, there would be no vehicles, would there? The great profession of the Law, the American Bar Association, has been neutered. What will lawyers do now for thier cases? They are now like Nascar drivers without a vehicle.

The author hopes this didn't just happen. The author hopes this is just a fantasy. Before, with the terrorists, only some parts of the country were not safe. Now, without the rights to freedom, is any part of the country safe?

What is Habeus Corpus?
