Second of a two-part series
Part 1, Part 2
The worst components of the Military Commissions Act (MCA) -- the permanent dismissal of habeas and the retroactive protection of torture/murderers -- are ex post facto law, plain and simple.
The Constitution says that no ex post facto law shall be passed, period.
Our Nazi Congress perpetrated legislative felony and massive treason just passing the MCA. The Nazi mutt who usurped the presidency in January 2001 -- perpetrating felonies and treason then, and who has perpetrated a whole catalog of unconstitutionalities, felonies, and treasons since -- perpetrated another set of unconstitutionalities, felonies, and treasons when he signed the MCA into an unconstitutional anti-law regime, 17 October 2006.
But reading commentary on the first treasonous ruling applying the MCA's ex post facto provisions, you'd think that there simply is no such thing as an ex post facto law consideration here. The Nazis -- media, politicians, DOJ, Judge Robertson, and a bunch of Harvard law school profs who promptly filed an amicus brief -- all sidestep the legal reality of the MCA abomination being ex post facto law, passed in blatant violation of the Constitution. Mustn't talk about the elephant in the living room. Mustn't challenge the hallowed US government.
It is reality rejection writ large, across a broad spectrum of motivations; all of them protecting the massively failed status quo of the massively criminal Bush-Cheney regime; all of them treasonously unAmerican; all of them Nazi.

Mention of the ex post facto abomination that is the MCA is only taken up by some few of us who brand it as a Nazi-like overthrowing of our Constitution and established law, on a par with the 1933 Nazi Enabling Act. And, of course, we few who demand that the society deal with the anti-Constitution reality of the MCA as ex post facto abomination are branded as radicals too far over the top to warrant attention.
Those who judge us to be political radicals are still doing politics-as-usual, treating the superrich class-race elite's 3-branch, 1-party, fascist despotism as if it were a normal, legitimate, US national govt. It's not. And ex post facto law is not about politics. It's about Constitutional law.
The Bush-Cheney regime -- illegitimate, criminal, and treasonous from top to bottom, 24-7, since 20 January 2001 -- continues to chalk up the sort of abominations against its civil society that have engulfed lesser-principled nations in bloody revolutions throughout history.
We few who demand accountability for the fascist usurpers who are destroying our nation for the superrich are on the outside looking in. We're not allowed into the political or the legal discussion. But what is inside -- servile bolstered despotism -- is so unspeakably illegitimate and murderous as to be a dishonoring of every decent thing ever done by Americans. It's utterly depraved. There are no words sufficient to describe its vileness and evil.
