The right of habeus corpus is extending to persons in the US and not limited to citizens....unless you share Alberto Gonzales' interpretation of the Constitution.

That doesn't change the fact that criminals on private property can be legally detained by the property owner for the authorities.

If he frightens them, or hurts their feelings, but doesn't use unnecessary force, fuck 'em.

I am not talking about one part of habeus, which is not listed in our Constitution, but implied by collective parts of it. There is nothing that says our Constitution applies to anyone other than US Citizens, the writ of hc is an important aspect of our judicial system. No one is saying that these individuals are being denied that writ.
