George W. Bush's attempt to redesign the American legal system by writing notions like Habeas Corpus out of existence for "terrorism" suspects has begun its inevitable collapse, with a Federal Appeals court in the United States slapping BushCo around for failing to bring charges forth and follow due process.
So far, it hasn't been a good year for Bush - his kangaroo courts for Guantanamo have refused to cooperate with his desires, and now the courts at home are slapping around his little fantasy of rewriting law to ignore all of the basic rules of law that are the underpinnings of law in most free nations.
A progressive voice shining light into the darkness of regressive politics. Pretty much anything will be fair game, and little will be held sacred.
