Rights? We don't need no stinking rights!

For those of you who don't follow Slashdot, you might want to know about this exchange between Sen. Specter and US Attorney General Gonzales. While discussing habeas corpus, Gonzales said, "There is no expressed grant of habeas in the Constitution; there’s a prohibition against taking it away." By his logic, the fact that the Constitution says that the government can't take away a right doesn't mean that we have that right. I think this gets my vote for one of the scariest statements made by a Bush Administration official. What's next? Assuming that the right to practice religion freely can be taken away by banning religion in the first place?

On a side note, my luggage came back from its world tour. However, it didn't bring back any pictures from it's exciting trip!
