It absolutely amazes me that in my working class town in PA I see Santorum signs all over the place. Don’t these people read the news? Santorum doesn’t even live in PA and he thinks he can represent us in the Senate? Not only that but he’s been tied to Delay, to Abramoff, and he’s […]

Donklephant has a post regarding The Death of Habeas Corpus, which puts into perspective what just happened when the President signed this bill into law.
