Habeas corpus came from the Magna Carta, over 800 years ago. It it has survived all that time because it is one of the primary foundations of a moral and just society.
This Republican Congress and Republican president abolished it after a few hours debate, and just in time for the mid-term elections.
Karl Rove turned the 800 year old Habeas Corpus into a political football, and the Republicans, in a despreate attempt to show the Dems were "weak," used it shamelessly.
Shame on them.
