Ironic, since the writ of Habeas corpus predates even the Magna Carta.
Habeas corpus goes back to around 1166, which for those keeping track, is only around 600 years before the founding of the USA…
The US was founded on ostensibly three major legal ideas.
Habeus Corpus.
Due Process.
The Magna Carta.
We don't seem to currently have any of the three.
So the we don't have a country or laws. The Nazis don't get to decide who is bound by the law...it's either all of us or none of us.... currently it's none
Do what thou will, but I think we can salvage this dumpster fire
It’s certainly possible. But at this point I don’t see how without bloodshed. Some kind of revolution seems inevitable.
I’m curious how it will play out in the information age; cameras and digital fingerprints everywhere.
And the Santa Maria.
Except, no.
I find it so strange how proud Americans are of their constitution, which was copied largely from British laws; who kinda shat on this part of their history…
Most americans think any country outside america is like going back in time 100 years, so they are proud of the dumbest shit.
The idea of habeas corpus was around long before 1166. We know other much older civilizations had courts and the right to a confront ones accusers.
its not like these magats or trump know what these 2 mean anyways.
Hábeas Corpus is the song from The Lion King right? /s
