http://www.constitution.org/uslaw/judiciary_1789.htm SEC. 14. And be it further enacted, That all the before-mentioned courts of the United States, shall have power to issue writs of scire facias, habeas corpus, and all other writs not specially provided for by statute, which may be necessary for the exercise of their respective jurisdictions, and agreeable to the principles and usages of law. And that either of the justices of the supreme court, as well as judges of the district courts, shall have power to grant writs of habeas corpus for the purpose of an inquiry into the cause of commitment.Provided, That writs of habeas corpus shall in no case extend to prisoners in gaol, unless where they are in custody, under or by colour of the authority of the United States, or are committed for trial before some court of the same, or are necessary to be brought into court to testify. > the 6th Amendment which is essentially Habeus Corpus spelled out? No habeas corpus is when you petition a court to determine if you're being held lawfully or inquiry into the cause of commitment. If so, the 6th amendment kicks in. > > The other says you may make no laws prohibiting the free exercise thereof... > > So free speech cannot be illegal. > > make no laws prohibiting, but does not expressly grant the exercise > thereof. A quibble, to be sure, but that's what this is all about, no? Not at all. If you can't ban something then you can't stop people form enjoying it. It's like saying the DMV can take away you're privilege to drive a car if you get too many tickets. That doesn't mean you have that privilege if you don't have a license. If it said DMV can't ban you from driving then you don't need a license. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:225888 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
