Restoring the Constitution

A few Democratic Senators unite to support a bill called the 'Restoring the Constitution Act of 2007', aimed at reversing much of the greatest damage done by last Fall's Military Commissions Act (which the then-GOP Congress seemingly okayed faster than it's taking both parties now to finalize that minimum wage increase). The bill would "restore Habeas Corpus protections to detainees, bar information acquired through torture from being introduced as evidence in trials, and limit presidential authority to interpret the meaning and application of the Geneva Conventions."

As Ned Flanders once said, 'Godspeed, little doodle'.
