 Senate democrats propose giving
detainees access to U.S. courts

By Josh White
THE Minoan POST

WASHINGTON - A group of Senate De—
mocrats introduced legislation Tuesday that
would restore habeas corpus rights to all de-
tainees in US. custody and would narrowly de-
line what it means to be an enemy combatant"
against the United States. a measure designed
to challenge laws ushered in by the Republi
can- controlled Congress list year

The bill. titled the “Restoring the Constitu—
tion Act of 3007." strikes at the core of the Mil-
itary Commissions Act of 2006 by giying dc»
tainees access to L'.S. courts. It was introduced
by Sen. Christopher Dodd. Conn. a candidate
for the Democratic presidential nomination.

The bill would also preyent the esecutiye
branch froin making blanket determinations
about who is an enemy combatant and would
restrict the president‘s authority to interpret
when certain human rights standards apply to
detainees The legislation would limit the label

enemy combatant to a person 'who directly

participates in hostilities in a {one ol actiye
combat against the United States or who took
part in the terrorist attacks of Sept ll 20(il

Should sULh language become law. it could

change the status of numerous detainees who

were picked up in L'. S. Lounterterrorism el-
forts.

The bill would also restore to the detainees
numerous rights they lost under the Military
Commissions Act. including the right. under a
habeas corpus petition. to challenge their deten-
tion in federal court.

l take a backseat to no one when it comes
to protecting the country lroni terrorists Dodd
said in anL mail statement Tuesday. ”But there
is a right way to do this and i wrong way to do

The Military Commissions Act was origi-
nally designed to fix problems iii the wartimL

the Supreme ( ourt striiLk down the Bush ad

Supreme Court scrutiny.

is bipartisan support in (‘ongress for restoring
the habeas corpus rights of detainees. many of
whom have filed court cases with the help of

remedy several legal problems her organi/ation

seeking the approval of courts
or political leaders. It wasn‘t

The plan calls for restric»
