UPDATE: The bill failed in the Senate today by a cloture vote of 56-43. More details are here. Details on how each Senator voted are here. Supporters of the attempt to restore habeas corpus are still asking citizens to contact their Senators. Sens. Chris Dodd (D-CT) and Patrick Leahy (D-VT), have introduced an amendment to the Department of Defense Authorization bill that would restore habeas corpus -- the right of people detained by the US to appear before a judge and demand proof that they have been lawfully arrested. That right, enshrined in the US Constitution, was vacated by passage of the Military Commissions Act of 2006. Dodd and Leahy are asking voters to support the bill now, to stop an expected Republican filibuster. Bloggers are doing what they can to whip up support. You can sign up to be a "citizen co-sponsor" through the website the Senators have created: Restore Habeas.
