Senate Passes Amendment to End Habeas for Detainees

O.K., then, I am not angry but from here:
The Senate today passed Lindsay Graham's amendment, 49 to 42 barring detainees at Guantanamo and others declared by the Executive Branch to be enemy combatants from seeking judicial review of the legality of their detentions.
And from here:
Section 9, Clause 2:
The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.
Seems pretty straightforward to me. The Senate has decided that we are in a Rebellion.

You bet your booties we're in a Rebellion!
