18. Fucking Dubya/Cheney did this to us

May 9

after 9/11 when Republicans saw a chance to strip a right from us that people from England had enjoyed since 1215. Of course, they never define their terms, nor do they consider any exemption for citizens.

Democrats, as usual, were too busy being afraid of panicky people who might vote against them to start asking the questions they shold have asked.

This should have been overturned by Obama during his first 2 years when he had a mostly friendly Congress. He knew better than to let this horror stand.

Now it will have to churn its way through an increasingly cherrypicked court system as "invasion" and "rebellion" are clearly defined to exclude peaceful people turning themselves in to ask for asylum and peaceful citizens exercising their rights to assemble and use their freee speech.

I hate the Republican Party and everything it has stood for since 1969.
