Here at The Thinker, we've mentioned the quaint provisions stated in the Great Writ of Habeas Corpus before.
Now, we know the Magna Carta is kind of vague, as is the way the US Constitution refers to said writ:
"The privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it."
So, obviously, it's something that doesn't much matter, right?
Keith Olbermann did a special feature tonight on the issue. It's sarcastic, but pretty dead on.
One thing he points out is something that had been occuring to me lately - the President, despite his urgings of how important it was to pass this legislation RIGHT NOW GODDAMMIT!, still has not signed the bill.
