Once Upon a Time
Once upon a time in America the law was that no person could be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury except in cases of military law at times of war.
Fortunately for Folly, these times are no more.
Yesterday, US Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit ruled that Jose Padila, a private American citizen being held in some dungeon since 2002 without charges or representation, can be held indefinitely, basterdizing the Fifth Amendment to the point that anyone, anywhere, and at anytime can be disappeared by the government for any reason.
"Who's that knocking on my door, . . ."
