ƒc Blue Jersey has news of Bob Menendez wishing to rectify his vote on the Military Commissions Act that he voted for last year.   He will co-sponsor the Restoring the Constitution Act of 2007 penned by Chris Dodd.   Menendez caught a lot of heat from the netroots for his vote and eventually said he would revisit his decision this year if re-elected.   I am still of the opinion he should never have voted for it but that is null/void now.   At least he is as good as his word and will work now to rectify the situation...

On Tuesday, February 13th, I plan on re-introducing the Restoring the Constitution Act of 2007. The bill will restore Habeas Corpus protections to detainees, bar information acquired through torture from being introduced as evidence in trials, and limit presidential authority to interpret the meaning and application of the Geneva Conventions.

Please take a moment to watch the video about the Restoring the Constitution Act of 2007, sign on as a citizen co-sponsor, and forward the bill to your personal networks. While you and I are acutely aware of the damage President Bush has done to our country's national reputation, too many of our family, friends and neighbors have no idea how far this Administration has gone.
