Beholden

On Sunday, Senator Arlen Specter said that he “vigorously” disagreed with the habeas corpus provision of the bill, and yesterday when he introduced an amendment to remove the provision, he said: “What this bill would do is take our civilization back 900 years to before the adoption of the writ of habeas corpus in medieval England.” 

So how did Senator Specter vote? 

“Yea”
