"The Senate has rejected the habeas corpus legislation in a 56 to 43 vote.
Senator Patrick Leahy put out a statement: “It is difficult to defend the higher
ground by taking the lower road. The world knows what our enemies stand for. The
world also knows what this country has tried to stand for and live up to — in
the best of times, and the worst of times. … We will not give up on this
important effort.”"
This is a sad day, and a tragic mistake.
