We got here because the Republicans seem interested in subordinating principles, ethics, and real efficiency to their own political aggrandizement.
I'm not entirely confident what the hell is really being authorized here but habeas corpus being removed is entirely and completely without cause. There have already been cases of administration detention of innocents; habeas corpus exists as a means of preventing that sort of abuse/corruption/mistake. Without it, I'm afraid to think just what the hell is going to happen.
Hopefully, though, the Supreme Court will chuck this out when it comes up.
