On this day last year...

george w. bush signed the military commissions act, a shameful act that will forever live in history as one of the darkest days in united states history...

We’ve been up against a government that will stop at nothing in its pursuit of power and today we mark the one-year anniversary of the signing of the Military Commissions Act one of the most despicable pieces of legislation to ever see the light of day.

This reprehensible law is the starkest example of the countless ways that the Bush Administration aided by a complicit and compliant Congress has stained our nation's legacy as the standard-bearer for the protection of human rights and undermined our Constitutional heritage of due process and justice for all.

So this dark anniversary seems a fitting day for us all to recommit ourselves to our defense of the Constitution and to set our sights on putting things right.

No matter how many setbacks we experience no matter how many heartbreaking losses we have to endure we will keep at it until, finally, decent Americans force their government to respect the rule of law.

the aclu, as always, is working to restore the rule of law and respect for the constitution in the halls of our government, but for every step forward, it's at least one, and often two, steps back... and, even tho' every day it seems like more and more of a useless gesture, you can still deluge congress with our demands to call a halt to the destruction of our democratic republic...
