Since I refuse to lose all hope in the souls of those legislators who just voted away our right to habeas corpus I must, instead, come to the conclusion I've already reached several times since this Congress first convened: They are stupid motherfuckers.
I come to this conclusion as I have many times before because only a stupid motherfucker would vote for the dissolution of the Bill of Rights when doing so also means -- you know, in addition to adopting a Brand New Fascism -- rendering his own job description null and void.
And make no mistake: whether or not these stupid motherfuckers actually KNOW what they have done, that IS what they have done. To vote away one of the RIGHTS in the BILL of RIGHTS is to take an IRREVOCABLE step toward dissolving the ENTIRE Bill of Rights-- whether explicitly or implicitly. It doesn't really matter whether the Reichstag actually burns in this scenario...
