Government
can’t hold combatants
Human
rights should be respected
The
Supreme Court agreed last week to hear a case challenging
President Bush’s self-assumed right to hold U.S.
citizens without charge and without counsel simply by
labeling them as “enemy combatants.”
The
case in question, Rumsfeld v. Padilla, centers around
one Jose Padilla from Chicago who was arrested after
visiting Pakistan. The Bush administration maintains
that he was part of a plot to commit terrorist attacks
in the United States.

Not
fair
Being
forced to move out, find new place to live a hassle
Looking
for an apartment can be a frustrating hassle. But looking
for an apartment at a walking distance from campus, in
the middle of the semester, during a cold winter afternoon,
can make this hassle even more frustrating. |

All
marriage licenses should be outlawed
The
gay marriage debate is the result of a failure to understand
the Constitution. Now, I know what you think I am going
to say. Homosexuals deserve the right to marry under the
equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment. Well, my
presumptuous friend, you are wrong. According to the equal
protection clause of the 14th Amendment, no one should
be allowed to marry. |
