(http://action.downsizedc.org/wyc.php?cid=82)
This bill would . . .
* Repeal the “Military Commissions Act of 2007” and thereby restore
the ancient right of habeas corpus and end legally sanctioned torture by U.S.
government agents
* Give Congress standing in court to challenge the President's use of
"signing statements" as a means to avoid executing the nation's laws
* Make it illegal for government agents to kidnap people and send them
abroad to be tortured by foreign governments
* Provide legal protection to journalists who expose wrong-doing by the
Federal government
* Prohibit the use of secret evidence to label groups or individuals as
terrorists for the purpose of criminal or civil sanctions
This one simple 3-page bill will . . .
* Restore basic Constitutional protections
* Empower Americans to support human rights, democracy, and the rule of
law in the world at large free from the stink of hypocrisy
* Protect Americans and American soldiers from blowback by foreign
powers in retaliation for our government's transgression of America's most
hallowed principles
