What in the World Does Habeus Corpus Have To Do With You?

Leave it to Keith Olbermann to turn that which is obscure and hard to understand, to clear and pertinent to your life. In this piece from his show, he lays it out creatively and succinctly. He also puts his concept into a larger setting, which is our Constitution, the metaphorical sun which around all in our political and personal lives revolve.

This is important stuff. Olbermann shows how this administration isn't just whittling away rights that Americans have had for more than 200 years. Whittling suggests a fine tuning or an artful carving. What's going on has a lot more to do with steamrollers and bulldozers.
