ACLU: 'Mukasey calls on Congress to subvert Constitution'
(7/21/2008)

Attorney General Wants New Declaration of War Allowing Indefinite Detention and Concealment of Torture

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: (202) 675-2312, media@dcaclu.org

WASHINGTON, DC - In an enormous executive branch power grab, Attorney General Michael Mukasey called on Congress today to authorize indefinite detention through a new declaration of armed conflict. Mukasey also proposed that Congress subvert the right of habeas corpus with a new scheme of procedures that will hide the Bush administration's past wrongdoing - an action that would undermine the constitutional guarantee of due process and conceal systematic torture and abuse of detainees.

"Mukasey is asking Congress to expand and extend the war on terror forever. Anyone that this president or the next one declares to be a terrorist could then be held indefinitely without a trial," said Caroline Fredrickson, Director of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office. "This is clearly the last gasp of an administration desperate to rationalize what is a failed legal scheme that was correctly rejected four times by the Supreme Court. With as little as five work weeks left in this Congress, there are more important issues than helping the lame-duck president cook up an indefensible plan to lock people up forever and throw away the key with no due process rights and limited judicial review."

"The attorney general's proposal would hide the torture and abuse conducted since 9/11," Fredrickson said. "This is one more effort to cover up the illegal activities authorized by the president and his administration. Attorney General Mukasey might be ok with helping in a cover-up, but there is no reason to think that Congress will assist him."

"Congress won't fall for this latest Bush administration plan to cover up its wrongdoing. At the same time that the House Judiciary Committee is investigating whether high-level Bush White House officials may have committed crimes of torture and abuse, Mukasey has the arrogance to ask Congress to give him the power to detain people without trial and hide torture and abuse from the courts," said ACLU Senior Legislative Counsel Christopher Anders. He added, "He wants a new declaration of a worldwide armed conflict in order to hold people without trial, and then under the guise of protecting ‘sources and methods' from judges who have decades of experience trying dangerous international terrorists, Mukasey asks Congress essentially to bury the evidence."

"There is simply no need to invent yet another set of legal rules to govern the detention and trial of prisoners held on national security grounds, and the rules that the attorney general is proposing are fundamentally inconsistent with the Constitution. The prisoners at Guantanamo, some of whom have been held without charges for more than six years, should be allowed a meaningful opportunity to challenge their detention in court. The handful of prisoners that have actually been charged with crimes should be tried under rules that conform to the Constitution and that the rest of the world will recognize as fair," said Jameel Jaffer, Director of the ACLU National Security Project.

As long as the snake has a head... it lives.

From RawStory

Among the rules Mukasey is seeking:

-Barring federal courts from allowing the detainees to be brought or released into the United States. He said detainees could participate in the court hearings by video link from Guantanamo if necessary. "Many of them pose an extraordinary threat to Americans," he said.

-Protecting counterterror intelligence gathered and used to detain the suspects from being turned over to courts.

-Prohibiting detainees charged with war crimes from challenging their capture until after they stand trial. Additionally, detainees should not be allowed to appeal their imprisonment under more than one legal standard.

-Assigning one federal court, and one judge, to oversee the detainee release cases to make sure they are heard in a coordinated effort.

-Underscoring that the United States has the authority to detain suspects it has identified as enemy combatants. "The United States has every right to capture and detain enemy combatants in this conflict, and need not simply release them to return to the battlefield - as indeed some of them have," Mukasey said.

And as long as the head is a snake... it too lives.

If all you can do, Congressman, is blink in the face of TYRANNY, then you're welcoming it's bite and venom. TYRANNY arrives at our doorstep and it's your watch! Should America awake to be bitten by that TYRANNY you let in through the doorway, who should America be angered at for the death nail placed in Her coffin? Most certainly NOT the snake, for it is doing what comes natural to that snake. Then what say... the watchman who slept through his shift?

CCR Executive Director Vincent Warren Denounces Mukasey Scheme to Have Congress Delay Habeas Hearings
CONTACT: press@ccrjustice.org

July 21, 2008, New York – In response to leaked portions of Attorney General Michael Mukasey’s speech to be delivered this morning, Center for Constitutional Rights Executive Director Vincent Warren issued the following statement:

“What Mukasey is doing is a shocking attempt to drag us into years of further legal challenges and delays. The Supreme Court has definitively spoken, and there is no need for congressional intervention. The Supreme Court explicitly said in Boumediene that the two prior attempts by Congress to intervene to prevent detainees from having access to the courts were unconstitutional.

“For six and a half years, Congress and the Bush Administration have done their level best to prevent the courts from reviewing the legality of the detention of the men in Guantanamo. Congress should be a part of the solution this time by letting the courts do their job.

“The strength of this country rests on our willingness to embrace a system of justice, to allow courts to consider the facts and interpret the law. As the most senior lawyer in the government, the Attorney General should allow justice at long last to proceed.”

CCR has led the legal battle over Guantanamo for the last six years – sending the first ever habeas attorney to the base and sending the first attorney to meet with a former CIA “ghost detainee.” CCR has been responsible for organizing and coordinating more than 500 pro bono lawyers across the country in order to represent the men at Guantanamo, ensuring that nearly all have the option of legal representation. CCR represented the detainees with co-counsel in the most recent argument before the Supreme Court on December 5, 2007.

Where is America when it forgoes the Justice system...?

for the sake of the Republic!!!

I'm not sure what happened to the man who wrote "Constitution in Crisis", but the Barney Fife acting punk who took his place is really pissing me off.

Instead of headlines explaining how Congress's SWAT team took down Rove, we're subjected to an order by America's lead prosecutor, which demands that Congress write ex post facto legislation to provide amnesty for crimes he knows have been committed, by his upline. These aren't crimes like marijuana posession by victim class America, which routinely results in long prison sentences. These are crimes like kidnapping, torture and murder.

At the same time, Mr. 'Goldman Sachs' Paulson is demanding that Congress dismantle our financial regulatory agency, and create a new one, so the crimes of those who caused our financial crisis, would fall into the same moot point legal black hole provided to the FISA violators.

If you succumb to these demands for amnesty legislation, and Mukasy is allowed to rewrite America's detention laws in such a way that the ambiguity allows American citizen dissenters to be imprisoned, it will prove to me, beyond any reasonable doubt, that you will deserve to be hung as an accessory to torture and murder.

As far as the people who've been in prison for decades? You were a senior Congressman when the first one was imprisoned decades ago, and you finally discover the injustice now?

At least their nightmare ended. Unless the people of Michigan wake up and smell the coffee in November, America's nightmare will continue to worsen until it either dissolves or Conyers dies of old age.

Considering the health care package John has benefitted from since the 60's, we can't assume that he will die anytime soon.

Too bad there isn't a DNA test for treason. The first people I would want tested, are Johnny-Boy and Old Nance.

FYI; I intend no racial overtones by using the term Johnny-Boy. In my lowbrow area, I've known many kids who didn't like being a Junior. Instead of Peter Jr., they became Peter-Boy. Instead of John Jr., they become Johnny-Boy. By pandering to the damage control demands of BushCo and his Democratic peers, John has assumed a servile position to his masters, almost as if he were a Junior, frantically trying to ingratiate himself to a strict Father(Bush), or overbearing Mother(Old Nance).

It isn't about race, it's about disrespect. I don't care what color his skin is, as long as he allows people like Rove to bitch-slap him in public, he deserves no respect.
