https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habeas_corpus
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.
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

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
Justice never has been blind and pretending it is only allows systemic abuse

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.
