To even consider taking a person's freedom indefinitely without showing good cause flies in the face of decency. To say the suspension of Habeas Corpus is confined to individuals who are a threat to national security does not change the abusive nature of the situation. This is really something for the patriotic to get out the word that "FREEDOM NEEDS TO BE DEFENDED!" The suspension of Habeas Corpus is the suspension of our Constitution and civil rights.-Vickie Chattanooga, TNHappy birthday to our most fundamental right of them all. Without you, no other right can be freely exercised. Please come back to us! We need you!-Margarita San Leandro, CA
