Did you know we don't have the right to Habeas Corpus?

Sure it doesn't. People already have those rights and the Constitution prohibits the government from taking them.

Which is why what Mr. Gonzales is saying is so ridiculous. That's why talking about the Constitution "granting" rights isn't correct. And Mr. Gonzales isn't correct.

And should be fired. Bravo to Sen. Specter.

edit: I belive Alexander "Ten Dolla" Hamilton said it best:

"I go further, and affirm that bills of rights, in the sense and in the extent in which they are contended for, are not only unnecessary in the proposed constitution, but would even be dangerous. They would contain various exceptions to powers which are not granted; and on this very account, would afford a colorable pretext to claim more than were granted. For why declare that things shall not be done which there is no power to do?"
