What does Habeas Corpus have to do with this?Everything. Read the articles. Do you realize that the EU is trying to be more or less unified? You don't know what you're talking about on this score (what else is new). The people of the member countries don't want to be unified; the politicians want to force it on them. And that has absolutely nothing to do with this matter. So that someone that wrongfully dicks people in France can't go to England to get away with it. Just like you can't commit a crime in NJ and go to NY to run away. You're getting extradition and in absentia mixed up. The EU wants to do it backwards. However, a trial without a person there is not a good idea at all. But hasn't it happened in the US, or no? No. It's illegal in the USA. Article 1, Section 9, Clause 2 of the US Constitution guarantees non-suspension of the writ of habeas corpus except against those who war against the country. |
