Thank you, Supreme Court

Since September 11th President Bush and his administration have continually stripped away numerous rights under the guise of protecting the U.S. from terrorism. For instance, the passage of the Patriot Act has led to greatly increased domestic wire taps and indefinite detentions of immigrants. Similarly, the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005 has taken away the right of habeas corpus from the men held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. However the Supreme Court has decided that this is unconstitutional and those being held have the right to challenge government confinement before a judge. As the New York Times editorial, "Justice 5, Brutality 4," asserts our rights are subject to the makeup of the Supreme Court. Thankfully the Supreme Court is no longer allowing President Bush to trample over supposed "terrorists". With any luck, fascist legislation like the Patriot Act and other such "preventative" laws will be overturned. After all, what is left to protect when you have sacrificed so many rights?!
