As to NorCal's original question, I guess the whole habeas corpus thing was really just a minor benefit, not a civil libert. That's just one example.
The habeas corpus issue, the issue concerning warrants, wiretaps, investigations into financial records, and many more issues, including the right to counsel, against self-incrimination. The unPatriot Act SUCKS.
