Max: Huh?
Attorney General Denies Right to Habeas Corpus
AG: “There is no expressed grant of habeas in the Constitution; there’s a prohibition against taking it away.'
Arlen Specter: “Wait a minute. The Constitution says you can’t take it away except in case of rebellion or invasion. Doesn’t that mean you have the right of habeas corpus unless there’s a rebellion or invasion?”
AG: “The Constitution doesn’t say every individual in the United States or citizen is hereby granted or assured the right of habeas corpus. It doesn’t say that. It simply says the right shall not be suspended” except in cases of rebellion or invasion.”
AS: “You may be treading on your interdiction of violating common sense.'
Wow. Newspeak is fun.
