Wyden Votes For, Smith Against Gitmo Habeas Corpus Bill
The Senate on Thursday passed a provision to a defense policy bill which restricts foreign enemy combatants from filing writs of habeas corpus. This is in direct contradiction to a 2004 Supreme Court ruling on the matter. Both Oregon Senators voted against the majority of their party, with Ron Wyden voting for the provision and Gordon Smith voting against it. Is this surprising?
This is Oregon. We love democrats that act like republicans and republicans that act like democrats. It makes us feel superior.
Nothing those clowns in Washington do is surprising. What a bunch of clowns.
