End of Habeas Corpus in the USA
The Attorney General of the USA declares to the Senate Judiciary Committe that not all citizens of the United States are Constitutionally guaranteed the Writ of Habeas Corpus.
Gonzales states there is no expressed granting of Habeas Corpus in the constitution, only that it cannot be taken away. Of course, the US constitution starts from the fundemental assumption that people have inate freedoms.

I studied US Political Institutions extensively while in university (a couple credits more and I'd have had a joint Political Science/Finance Degree). It's really sad for me to see what I regard as the best (or least bad) political system unravel and destroy its fundemental principles.
