A completely non-partisan thought for the day.

Rights once freely given and taken for granted
are notoriously difficult to regain once relinquished

October 17th was one such a day.

On October 17th, 2006
The Military Commission Act of 2006 was passed into law
thus rendering the United State Constitution and rule
of law superfluous in one fell swoop.

What has been done here is remarkable for the lack of response by the 
American people for whom the "any person" clause eliminates
any kind of legal access to legal remedy, recourse or jury trial at the 
executive office of the Presidency whim.

Boldly we go backward into the past of pre-Magna Carta law.

This is not a Democrat issue.
This is not a Republican issue.
This is a unitary executive ( dictator) issue
and an extremely *radical* move IMO. 
... I don't recall voting Elmer Fudd for President.
