One of the most important rights that our Constitution guarantees us is habeus corpus, literally "to have the body", or something like that. It guarantees that individuals will not be imprisoned indefinitely without being charged without evidence of a crime being presented in a court, and without charges being filed. The Supreme Court has "recognized the fact that`[t]he writ of habeas corpus is the fundamental instrument for safeguarding individual freedom against arbitrary and lawless state action.' Harris v. Nelson, 394 U.S. 286, 290-91 (1969)." (ibid.)

But today, in another giant step towards limiting freedom, the House of Representatives voted to pass HR6166 by a margin of 253 Ayes to 168 Noes. As expected, most of the votes were along party lines. Of course Howard Coble followed his Republican masters, and voted to take another chunk out of the Constitution, piss on the graves of the founding fathers, and think that he can sit fat and pretty in his office in Greensboro for another 20 years.

But Democrats in District 6 are energized and ready to send Howard off into happy retirement. Rory Blake will represent the interests of all his constituents, and would never vote to neuter the Constitution.
Support Rory Blake on November 7.
