A pair of lawmakers on Thursday offered a bill that would repeal laws that allow the indefinite detention of Americans and others by the military without trial.

OK, here's the plan. I'm gonna call my Senator and Congressman and see if they'll support this. I guess I'll call likely challengers too. If no support from either the Democrat or Republican frontrunners for one of those offices for restoring rule of law, then I need some money for a filing fee, and a ride to the state capitol, and I'm gonna primary 'em.

Because really.

This is depressing. Actually, I think there are Americans who believe in more than the hustle. It's the subculture in power that's mad.

This makes a good point about how letting the finance sector be "acceptably corrupt" only encourages a general lawlessness.

...so yeah.
