House Judiciary Committee Rejects Bush's Military Tribunal Plan in Bipartisan Vote

A BUZZFLASH NEWS ALERT

The House Judiciary Committee today rejected Bush's excessive, unconstitutional military tribunal proposal, 17-20. The bipartisan vote mirrored the recent rebellion of moderate Senate Republicans over the same bill.

The House Armed Services Committee endorsed the bill last week, but it was also sent to Judiciary because of overlapping jurisdiction. While Republican leaders can still bring the legislation before the full House, a senior source in Washington told BuzzFlash that the failed vote proves that the tribunal plan is ill-conceived because the Committee - a panel of experienced legal experts - have rejected its merits.

It's enough to drive a man to drink, and in bush's case, I hope it does.
