The Habeas Corpus secures every man here, alien or citizen, against everything which is not law, whatever shape it may assume.
Quotation from Thomas Jefferson
Why suspend the habeas corpus in insurrections and rebellions? Examine the history of England. See how few of the cases of the suspension of the habeas corpus law have been worthy of that suspension. They have been either real treasons, wherein the parties might as well have been charged at once, or sham plots, where it was shameful they should ever have been suspected. Yet for the few cases wherein the suspension of the habeas corpus has done real good, that operation is now become habitual and the minds of the nation almost prepared to live under its constant suspension.

Whoever “wins” this election Sera, it will continue on a given track. It’s sad I know. There is not much difference I see between Obama and McCaine. But there is one issue I do care about. In the next four years there are about 2 or 3 Supreme-court justices retiring. Now, whoever votes in the new crew will determine the policy and “gender” of this country for a long time to come. Those justices are there for “life” – not terms. Anyhow, point being, Obama is my choice this time, because I can’t envision McCaine to support a jurisdiction that ultimately will benefit us all.

…I am fucking tired, there must be something wrong with me.
Nevermind, I sleep while I think (or the other way round), some kind of privilege I guess.
How are you holding up? Bite me baby, bite me!
On an other note, I will from now on make a conscientious effort to be more positive in my posts, have a minor trolling around, got to give them that optimistic spirit. But I don’t know if I can do it.
Anyway, I will also post less in the following days ’cause my bloody trip to Europe. I’ll see you steady and heart-fast when I come back! A few more days —- and I am gone.
Yo Sera, you are actually a good girl. I am starting to like you more than I originally imagined. Keep up the good work and place those sharpened scissors on your desk, just in case.
Be well, Lukas. (the Zee man)

I’m not really into politics, but from what I’ve read and heard, it seems like he’ll really make a difference. At least I hope so.

I have no process granting the terrorists due process under the law. Why? Because they’ll hang all the same, fair trial or not.

OK you guys, got my new passport back last week. There is a chip in it in the last page. That is a strange one. You know, there are already bar-codes and such all over the place. (plus the picture, plus the fucking address, plus, plus, plus….)
So what does that chip do? Shit, I have no clue! For all I know, now I can be tracked by a satellite from space. What a charming world we live in.
As for “America is back” Sera – I have the sincere feeling that it isn’t just yet.

I’ve said it before…yata yata. It will make no difference who gets the presidency. There are two parties in name only. This country is headed to totalitarianism. In some form or other this country will no longer be a democracy. Its only a matter of how long it takes for the shift to complete itself. Whats amusing to me is the majority of the people in this country can’t or won’t see it coming. Just wait for things to get a little worse and then “big brother” comes to the rescue and turns things around and all you will be required to do is give up a few freedoms. That’s not so bad for a stable economy and someone to do all your thinking for you right?
