Habeas corpus (/ˈheɪbiəs ˈkɔːrpəs/ ⓘ; from Medieval Latin, lit. 'you should have the body')[1] is a legal procedure by which a report can be made to a court alleging the unlawful detention or imprisonment of an individual, and requesting that the court order the individual's custodian (usually a prison official) to bring the prisoner to court, to determine whether their detention is lawful.

You're soooo funny.
It won't be so funny when they come for you.
First, they came for...
...
Then they came for me, and there is no one left to speak for me.
Blind justice, ha, that's a joke.
It's an ideal to be worked towards.
No, it's a flawed ideal that needs to be reconstructed

Judges shouldn't fear being arrested, for some judges, that's what every single person that comes in front of them has been through. They should uphold the law, knowing that other judges will also uphold the law when it comes to them. They should put some trust in the system that they work with every single day, for decades sometimes, so they can fight for the rule of law over corruption, greed, and hate.
If judges aren't willing to stand up for the law, how can they expect any other legal professional to do so?

Habeas corpus predates the USA, I guess it's fitting that it will outlive it.
dont' worry. all these "unlawful detentions" we're hearing about will soon be 100% lawful
still is. doesn't cease to exist for the rest of the world just because the us wants to shit the bed.
It will when fascists roll the largest military in human history up to their front doors
actual people aren't little plastic soldiers, though. it may have been easier 100 years ago when people didn't have enough information, or it might be even easier now that people have too much information. i genuinely wonder what the outcome of the information explosion will look like - i'm just happy i won't live long enough to know.
