What Habeas Corpus?

I have one question: How did Alberto Gonzales ever make it through law school?

The US Attorney General, in a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing said that habeas corpus is not expressly granted in the US Constitution. Is this guy insane? If the Constitution states that “the privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it”, doesn't that also mean that it's a given that this is a right? Why state something cannot be suspended if it doesn't already exist?



Not according to this dimwit. Here's what Gonzales said: “The Constitution doesn’t say every individual in the United States or citizen is hereby granted or assured the right of habeas corpus. It doesn’t say that. It simply says the right shall not be suspended except in cases of rebellion or invasion.”
To which Arlen Specter replied, "“You may be treading on your interdiction of violating common sense."

These criminals never cease to amaze me. They shit all over the Constitution and wring their hands in glee. Look at this shithead smirk while answering the question. God, I hate these people.

Must we have Alberto Gonzales tune in to Comedy Central to help him understand how ludicrous his statements are? Stephen Colbert's satire is great, but unfortunately, no one in this administration wouldn't understand it as satire.
