President. I would like to say a few words about another very important set of provisions in this bill: the sections that would reform habeas corpus. Like the provisions concerning deportation of criminal aliens. the habeas corpus reforms in the bill correct a common abuse of judicial process in our criminal justice system. In this case they correct the obstructive and abusive manipulation of the writ of habeas corpus by criminals who have been convicted of serious violent crimes. Right now. the delay made possible by abuse of this writ allows convicted criminals to essentially overrule a States entire criminal justice system.
