In a special podcast, Jason and Brett interview Bob Barr to further explore his thoughts regarding the plan to possibly bring prisoners detained as part of the War on Terror to the United States for trial.

On Monday, former Congressman Barr, along with Grover Norquist and David Keene released a joint statement supporting the proposal.  In the interview, Barr discusses federal prisons, habeas corpus, and indefinite detention of these prisoners.

You can download the podcast here (13 minutes/12 MB). The introduction music is “Easy Skankin’” by Bob Marley, one of the former Congressman’s favorite artists.

No matter how you philosophically interpret it, one thing almost all of us can agree on is that the highest law governing this nation is the Constitution. Then why are Harry Reid and other Democrats pushing for a decision that is as unconstitutional as almost anything the Bush administration had done over the last 8 years? It’s simply politics.

While most wanted Gov. Blagojevich to refrain from making an appointment for US Senate to replace Senator Obama, everyone agreed that he does have the right under the US Constitution and Illionis law to do so, as he has yet to be impeached. And, so he did. His choice? Roland Burris, who will become the only African American in the US Senate. But too bad for Burris — Reid and fellow Democrats do not want him seated.

On Monday, Illinois’s Democrat Governor Rod Blagojevich announced that he is asking all IL state government agencies to suspend business with Bank of America.

Though unrelated, Governor Blagojevich was arrested Tuesday on corruption charges, accused of attempting to sell the Senate seat soon to be vacated by President-elect, Barrack Obama.
