Somehow "Nullus ballivus ponat decetero aliquem ad legem simplici loquela sua, sine testibus fidelibus ad hoc inductis" sounds more resounding.

Also note "aliquem" means any *person*.

In the whole "real vs. fake" reality we now live in, the universe still acts in mysterious ways. This document (it's real, not fake!) emerges. At Harvard, of all places. The day before the Supreme Court meets to interpret the Constitution.

As I’ve been saying since T1, it’s a cartel. It’s magical thinking to expect Rule of Law to matter to a cartel. They’ll kill you as soon as look at you. GOP leadership are savages. And enjoying themselves immensely. Hotshot sophisto Tory sadists are the same. Lots of law for me, none for you.

Recommend Habeas Corpus/From England to Empire, by Paul D. Halliday, The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2010: This [must be] a history of England and its empire…in order to be a history of habeas corpus, because no other part of law touched so much of life.

No legal instrument dealt equally with things so public as treason and so personal as insanity...Well before 1800, jailers in imperial outposts around the globe answered the writ's demands...[Halliday goes on to emphasize] the power of judges in supervising all other authorities.

Somehow, no matter the historical basis, Alito and Thomas will declare it's fine. Whether the other 4 do is the only question.
