Action Alert

Great news from Congress yesterday. Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) introduced the Restoring the Constitution Act of 2007.

This Act would:

1)restore habeas corpus
2)reaffirm our commitment to the Geneva Conventions
3)disallow evidence obtained through torture
4)give judges leeway to disregard evidence based solely on heresay
5)expedite judicial review of the Military Commissions Act of 2006
6)narrow the definition of “unlawful enemy combatant” to something reasonable where hospital administrators like Adel Hamad, where fruit vendors, landlords and cooks could not be considered combatants unless engaging in hostile acts.

In other words, this Act has teeth and Senator Dodd is asking us, as U.S. citizens, to be co-sponsors of the Restoring the Constitution Act of 2007.
