Isto é que é a América: Boumediene v. Bush (2008)
Camarada Miguel Morgado,
isto é o espírito constitucional americano no seu melhor. Ou não?
Boumediene v. Bush (2008) pp. 68-69
Security depends upon a sophisticated intelligence apparatus and the ability of our Armed Forces to act and to interdict. There are further considerations, however. Security subsists, too, in fidelity to freedom’s first principles. Chief among these are freedom from arbitrary and unlawful restraint and the personal liberty that is secured by adherence to the separation of powers. It is from these principles that the judicial authority to consider petitions for habeas corpus relief derives.
Eu gostava de ver a Ana Gomes defender um Tribunal assim em Portugal: isto é que sã direitos humanos.
