As I mentioned, I think the new elimination of habeas corpus is blatantly unconstitutional…and I should have added that I think it's a dangerous move that runs contrary to just about everything America stands for.
This article by Stephen Rohde does a good job of explaining why. Mr. Rohde is one of the acknowledged experts on copyright law in this country but he also specializes in constitutional law and is a high executive in the American Civil Liberties Union. Some people who read this weblog will be even more impressed to learn that he was the main lawyer who represented Jack Kirby in his infamous battle with Marvel Comics over ownership of his original artwork back in the eighties. (The other lawyer who worked wonders for Jack back then was Paul S. Levine, who was on our Jack Kirby Tribute Panel at this year's Comic-Con International.)
