Think Progress reports: “A day after two military judges ruled against the Bush administration’s system for trying terrorism detainees,” the Senate Judiciary Committee announced it was preparing to approve legislation to restore habeas corpus on Thursday. Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) “said he would be willing to bring such legislation to the floor.” Christy at firedoglake has urged people to actively support the The Habeas Restoration Bill S.185.
