McCain and Habeus Corpus

what McCain just said about yesterday's Supreme Court decision upholding the constitutional right of habeas corpus.

Here's McCain, in his own words,

"The United States Supreme Court yesterday rendered a decision which I think is one of the worst decisions in the history of this country." *

What???

Yesterday's powerful decision by the Court (a decision Americans should be proud of) affirmed a fundamental constitutional right -- in this case, the right of a detainee to challenge the government's grounds for confining him. What does McCain think is so bad about that?

Does he think protecting the right to be heard in court is...

...worse than locking thousands of Americans in internment camps because they had Japanese ancestry? (Korematsu v. United States -- 1944)

...worse than forcing African Americans to sit at the back of the bus? (Plessy v. Ferguson -- 1896)

...worse than slavery? (Dred Scott v. Sanford -- 1857)

Really, Senator McCain?

The court now in lockstep with the "R" ideology which protects the wealthy and gives a nose-thumb at those who need help. The kind of social order they wish to spread across our land, is not democracy. Not with, cruel punishment for those who can't pay their way out of a guilt accusation. Not with, melt down of habeas corpus. Not with, stripping a woman of her right to choose what's best for her body & circumstances. Not with, laws, claiming Voter Id's before one can vote. Not with, reducing punitive damages to large corp. who will become more reckless not having to face large losses to their beloved capital. Not with, dismantling gun-control laws putting all at risk of being murdered by the disgruntled, the disturbed who should never possess lethal weapons.

Editorial

A Supreme Court on the Brink

the Supreme Court term that just ended seems muddled:

disturbing, highly conservative rulings

like voting rights and gun control,

important defenses of basic liberties in other areas, including the rights of detainees

Guantánamo

most important decisions came on 5-to-4 votes

reminder that the court is just one justice away from solidifying a far-right majority

that would do great damage to the Constitution and the rights of ordinary

The Supreme Court abandoned its

role in protecting voting rights

the court struck down parts of the District of Columbia’s gun-control law.

Corporations fared especially well in this term

The court reduced the punitive-damages award against Exxon Mobil

most cold-hearted decision, the court endorsed Kentucky’s use of lethal injection to execute prisoners.

In placing these rulings in the larger context of the court after two appointments by President Bush

Roberts

and

Alito

both

members of the conservative movement

One more

Habeas panel: produce evidence or release Gitmo prisoner

clipper's remarks: Compares gov't case to fantasy of Lewis Carroll. Detainee held on hearsay; no proof offered. Orders Govt to release detainee or provide evidence justifying detention.

Clip Source: www.dailykos.com

A panel of the Appeals Court in the DC Circuit on Monday released the first ever ruling on a ~~habeas~~ habeas-like review for a Guantanamo prisoner under the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005 (PDF). It's devastating to the Bush administration. The unanimous opinion even mocks Bush & Co.'s argument, comparing it to a nonsense poem by Lewis Carroll.

"The documents repeatedly describe those activities and relationships as having "reportedly" occurred, as being "said to" or "reported to" have happened, and as things that "may" be true or are "suspected of" having taken place

"The government insists that the statements made in the documents are reliable because the State and Defense Departments would not have put them in intelligence documents were that not the case. This comes perilously close to suggesting that whatever the government says must be treated as true, thus rendering superfluous both the role of the Tribunal and the role that Congress assigned to this Court."

originalism vs. policy judgments

clipper's remarks: good point being made here. Breyer's thinking depends on estimate of a policy's outcome, something he piously refused to consider when thinking about other rights. .

Clip Source: online.wsj.com

Of course, the originalism of both Justices Scalia's and Stevens's opinions are in stark contrast with Justice Breyer's dissenting opinion, in which he advocates balancing an enumerated constitutional right against what some consider a pressing need to prohibit its exercise. Guess which wins out in the balancing? As Justice Scalia notes, this is not how we normally protect individual rights, and was certainly not how Justice Breyer protected the individual right of habeas corpus in the military tribunals case decided just two weeks ago.

Dictatatorships and the Rubber Room

clipper's remarks: Good summation of the politics of the Rubber Room

Clip Source: life-after-the-rubber-room.blogspot.com

Somehow when it comes to labor law we forget the constitution. The parallels are inescapable. The chancellor says we are in a crisis, he needs to suspend Habeas Corpus. He then gives principals almost unlimited power to send people to a gulag. Once there the prisoners are not charged in a timely manner and when they are charged they are not given a speedy trial. The justification for this is protecting the students and empowering principals to rid themselves of bad teachers.

result of course is almost identical to the result of all other dictatorships. This power is used to rid the system of people who challenge the leaders or threaten the power of a leader. It is sometimes used to get rid of bad people but it is also used to get rid of good people who are a threat. This is a failure of some leaders, but more importantly it is a failure of a system with no constitutional guarantees. The drafters of the constitution knew that men would use power badly if not restrained by law.

Prisoner reaches out in letter to media

NB: Omar Khadr was born in Toronto and is a Canadian citizen, he is not a naturalized citizen as stated in this article.

Longing for a normal life and a chance to return to the country where his “soul” is “connected,” a letter by Omar Khadr to Canadian media offers a rare glimpse into the mind of the 21-year-old suspected terrorist who has been imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay for the past six years.

The handwritten letter was in response to six questions submitted by the CBC, asking the naturalized citizen about his memories of Canada, his aspirations, what he wants to tell Canadians, and what he would do to distance himself from his past.

The CBC avoided asking about his legal case because of the reluctance of the U.S military to allow details of the investigation outside of court.

"All models are wrong, but some are useful."

So proclaimed statistician George Box 30 years ago, and he was right. But what choice did we have? Only models, from cosmological equations to theories of human behavior, seemed to be able to consistently, if imperfectly, explain the world around us. Until now. Today companies like Google, which have grown up in an era of massively abundant data, don't have to settle for wrong models. Indeed, they don't have to settle for models at all.

Sixty years ago, digital computers made information readable. Twenty years ago, the Internet made it reachable. Ten years ago, the first search engine crawlers made it a single database. Now Google and like-minded companies are sifting through the most measured age in history, treating this massive corpus as a laboratory of the human condition. They are the children of the Petabyte Age.

Court Finds Gitmo Prisoner not an 'Enemy Combatant'

clipper's remarks: Of course, the real question is how long this guy had to rot at Guantanamo before he got a chance to prove he didn't belong there.

This is exactly the sort of situation that habeas corpus was meant to deal with.

Clip Source: www.mcclatchydc.com

A federal appeals court has rejected the military's designation of a Guantanamo detainee as an enemy combatant in its first such review.

The decision, which was handed down Friday, was announced Monday in a short notice posted on the Web site of U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, but the full ruling was not released and was still being vetted for classified information. It was unclear when the ruling would be available.

The announcement said a three-judge panel had determined that a military tribunal's conclusion that prisoner Huzaifa Parhat could be detained at Guantanamo because he was an enemy combatant was "invalid," but did not say why it had found that it was invalid.

The court said the Pentagon must either release or transfer Parhat or hold a new tribunal hearing "consistent with the court's opinion."

Scalia’s Claim That Released Gitmo Prisoners Have Killed Americans Is An ‘Urban Legend’

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 20:22:51 GMT

clipped by: rustajb
clipper's remarks: All you have to do in America is tell people a lie, let it sink in and then apologize later. So many people will continue to believe and spread the lie that the damage has already been done and no amount of apologizing will undo it. This is why many still believe Saddam had anything to do with 9/11, why so many middle-Americans still believe Obama is a Muslim; the list could go on and on. This particular lie serves the purpose of adding weight to the habeas corpus arguments raging in congress (did I say arguments, I meant lip service). The more people that believe the lie, the easier it is to steamroll over the constitution. As a bright young man named Chuck D once said "Don't believe the hype!"

Report: Scalia’s Claim That Released Gitmo Prisoners Have Killed Americans Is An ‘Urban Legend’»

A new report from the Seton Hall University School of Law explodes the myth that some 30 detainees released from Guantanamo Bay prison have “returned to the battlefield” against American forces.

This conservative urban legend was recently parroted by Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia in his dissent from the Court’s Boumediene decision. Scalia wrote that granting habeas corpus rights to Gitmo detainees “will almost certainly cause more Americans to be killed,” and supported this view by asserting that “at least 30 of those prisoners hitherto released from Guantanamo Bay have returned to the battlefield.”

Despite being repeatedly debunked, this statement has been reflexively accepted as true by Members of Congress and much of the American public. Justice Scalia is only the most recent disseminator of an urban legend that refuses to die. […]
