a writ requiring a person to be brought before a judge or court, especially for investigation of a restraint of the person's liberty, used as a protection against illegal imprisonment.
“habeas corpus, an ancient common-law writ, issued by a court or judge directing one who holds another in custody to produce the person before the court for some specified purpose. Although there have been and are many varieties of the writ, the most important is that used to correct violations of personal liberty by directing judicial inquiry into the legality of a detention.”
I don’t know how much more complete ignorance of Constitutional order I can take. Everybody swears to uphold it, but a lot of Americans have no fucking idea what it says. Keep up the good work, Jonathan.
Few reported Hassan’s misstatement of the right to habeas corpus and many reported that Noem turned the writ on its head. While critics rightfully characterized Noem’s statement as Constitutional illiteracy, I read nothing that criticized her for not understanding a basic idea underlying Constitutional liberty. She said that habeas is a president’s Constitutional right. The Constitution, however, describes the powers—not rights—of the government’s three branches. Those powers are supposedly limited, although SCOTUS is working hard to free the president and itself from pesky limitations. Noem’s statement shows fundamental ignorance of the structure of the Constitution based on a fascistic view of government.
Article 1, Section 9 of the U.S. Constitution prevents the suspension of habeas corpus except "when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it."

Latin, meaning "you have the body." A writ of habeas corpus generally is a judicial order forcing law enforcement authorities to PRODUCE a prisoner they are holding, and to JUSTIFY the prisoner's continued confinement. Federal judges receive petitions for a writ of habeas corpus from state prison inmates who say their state prosecutions violated federally protected rights in some way.

For some reason, I don’t recall NOT knowing what habeas corpus means. Perhaps because I had Latin classes.

Hi Robert, I feel like there’s room to elaborate on the case you’re trying to make.
It seems Robert might've been scotch-posting...
"How dare you expose the fuck-ups." Another case of blaming the messenger for the incompetence of the people in charge.
