Sestak's Bill to Restore Habeas Corpus: HR 2710

Last week, Rep. Joe Sestak introduced HR 2710, a bill to "restore the habeas corpus rights repealed by the controversial Military Commissions Act last year", according to the Constitution Project as quoted on The World Monitor.

This is a key action in rolling back one of the many actions of the Bush administration and the previous Republican-controlled Congress encroaching on civil liberties.

Joe knows what the Constitution is supposed to do, and restoring Habeas Corpus gets us back to those Constitutional rights eroded by Bush.

FYI, Habeas Corpus (according to Wikipedia), "is the name of a legal action or writ by means of which detainees can seek relief from unlawful imprisonment. The writ of habeas corpus has historically been an important instrument for the safeguarding of individual freedom against arbitrary state action."

Nice work Joe! Let's get this bill passed.
