Subject: support HR 2121

One of the fundamental principles of the American judicial system is the
right to due process of law.  This includes the right of the accused to
face their accuser and the ability to see, hear and respond to the evidence
against them. Despite this history, Congress chose in 1996 to create a
court where the government seeks to deport aliens, including people in the
country legally, using secret evidence. The accused cannot see the evidence
against them, nor can they find out who their accusers are!  HR 2121 would
reverse this poor state of affairs, and I hope that you'll support it.
