This must stop. The Terrorism Prevention Acts habeas corpus reforms will play an important role in stopping it by preventing prisoners on death row from gaming our legal system with countless appeals. So. too. will its provisions limiting the ability of noncitizens who have committed serious crimes in this country to avoid deportation by filing countless meritless court challenges to deportation orders. At the same time. it is also important that we do not let the pendulum swing too far in the other direction and trample on the civil rights of those who have committed no crime. Other provisions in the Terrorism Prevention Act that were included at the insistence of President Clinton will restrict fundraising for organizations suspected but not proven to be terrorist on the basis of secret evidence.
