Dear George,
Cue the dancing girls; pop open the bubbly! A black dawn has broken on the horizon: Amerika is now officially a police state, and your Neocons are using worthless writs of habeas corpus to wipe their asses.
Two groups of ingrates “detained” at Gitmo had filed suit challenging the constitutionality of your Military Commissions Act of 2006 that strips brownskins of their humanity. Under that act, we can hold aliens indefinitely without filing charges. (Hell! Who needs immigration reform with that baby on the books?) Your handpicked Supreme Court refused to hear their appeal, and Justice farted.
You see, normally the court refuses to hear a case until all “legal” channels of appeal have been exhausted. The Military Commissions Act cobbles together a pseudo-appeal procedure known as Combatant Status Review Tribunal. If a detainee (we keep no prisoners) wants to appeal a tribunal decision, he may only appeal it to the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The Act squeezes the Supreme Court out of the appeal process.
What a blow for freedom this is. You should ring the Liberty Bell and widen its crack. All men are no longer endowed by their creator with inalienable rights, except for our kind of guys.
Even though the court reamed freedom, it caused nary a ripple in the mainstream media. The New York Times, the pimpmeister for your media trollops, buried the story on page A-16. They saved their page-one lead for the court’s ruling that the EPA had the right to regulate emissions. The Court believes in the importance of our oppressed people breathing clean air.
George, your legacy is guaranteed even if they impeach you. However, there is one trace of a shadow on all of this: can you imagine Hillary exercising the unitary powers of the executive.
Your admirer,
Belacqua Jones
