Say Goodbye to Habeas

[SalmonChantedEvening]

Say Goodbye to Habeas (To the tune of Say Goodbye to Hollywood – Billy Joel)

Maybe there’s something you decide you must fight
Well that right, may not be yours very long
Dissent no longer in this land if you’re seen
As a threat, to the fear that keeps them strong

Say goodbye to habeas, kiss your corpus goodbye
Say goodbye to habeas, kiss your corpus goodbye

You’re designated and it’s off to your cell
Set a spell, and forget about the courts
They’ve decimated any chance you might have
Of defense, the tribunals won’t afford

Say goodbye to habeas, kiss your corpus goodbye
Say goodbye to habeas, kiss your corpus goodbye

Missing Person that’s you, no one knows where you are, or what you’re accused of
Then your captors decide just what kind of questioning’s legal
You’re over….. you’re over…

The many voices they must silence won’t bow
To this sin, against every citizen
Vote out all your fellow cowards in power
Set our sights on making this right again

Say goodbye to habeas, kiss your corpus goodbye
Say goodbye to habeas, kiss your corpus goodbye

(repeat 3rd verse and fade with chorus)

4. My GOD!!

First of all, I was JUST thinking of you tonight. Second off, that was absolutely brilliant. I have to say, too, that that almost made me cry. If I'd had another beer I would have, doubtless.

OK, wait, I'm crying.

"The many voices they must silence won’t bow
To this sin, against every citizen
Vote out all your fellow cowards in power
Set our sights on making this right again"

Thank you for that. You are really something.

15. Look on the bright side. Attorneys will go the way of buggy whips.

With no constitution or bill of rights, what do we
need lawyers for any more?
