"In one of the most chilling public statements ever made by a U.S. Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales questioned whether the U.S. Constitution grants habeas corpus rights of a fair trial to every American." - ROBERT PARRY of the Baltimore Chronicle
Gonzales Questions Habeas Corpus “There is no expressed grant of habeas in the Constitution; there’s a prohibition against taking it away,” Gonzales said.
Gonzales’s remark left Specter, the committee’s ranking Republican, stammering.
“You may be treading on your interdiction of violating common sense,” Specter said.
