"There is no express grant of habeas [corpus] in the Constitution; there is a prohibition against taking it away."

As [livejournal.com profile] theweaselking noted, "Using the same logic, of course, there's no right to bear arms, either - just because the constitution says you can't take it away doesn't mean it says you've got it."  Remember the good old days, when there was a Supreme Court vacancy or two and Gonzales's name kept popping up as a candidate?  Why, this fascinating exercise in hairsplitting is just what this country needs!

Someone is bound to point out that Bill Clinton also used word games when he said "It depends on what the definition of is is." I want to point out that there is a BIG difference between playing word games to justify/hide a blow job and playing word games to justify/hide torture and secret prisons.

Minor Nit....

In case no one has offered you the official gnostic lexicon, Torture is what NeoConClowns mean when they are talking about a 'blow job'....

It use to mean, an 'enron financialization' but that was upgraded in the post-911 cultural enhancement phase...

HTH.
