In October, Rep. Ron Paul introduced HR 3835 - the American Freedom Agenda Act of 2007.
This bill, if passed, would go a long way towards restoring liberty and the constitution in this country, and eliminate a number of "laws" that were enacted beyond the Constitution's limit on federal power.
More specifically, The American Freedom Agenda Act would
- bar the use of evidence obtained through torture
- require that federal intelligence gathering is conducted in accordance with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA)
- create a mechanism for challenging presidential signing statements
- repeal the Military Commissions Act, which, among other things, denies habeas corpus to certain detainees
- prohibit kidnapping, detentions, and torture abroad
- protect journalists who publish information received from the executive branch
- ensure that secret evidence is not used to designate individuals or organizations with a presence in the U.S. as foreign terrorists.
