Jump Like a Fish, Jump Like a Porpoise, all Join Hands and Habeas Corpus!

No. 1,449

The Great Writ is far outside my practice area .  Based upon the excellent article in the ACS blog which is linked here, its outside everybody’s practice area.  The author, who is referred to as Judge,  doesn’t pull any punches, even when criticizing the United States Supreme Court, which she does throughout.

I presented such a petition once or twice in my distant youth to get a hearing scheduled for some poor sap who was locked up without a clue, usually on mental health grounds.  I doubt whether it would work today.
