<howls with laughter> Would any of us from the "Revolution" era ever
think that Wavy Gravy would become an ice cream flavor? 

The sad part is that Habeas Corpus has been tromped on since Bush Sr.
days as part of the "War on Terrorism". If you become locked up, you
have 6 months to file it, then the right to do so is gone... forever!
That's been in effect since 1982. Plus the writ must be successful from
the get-go, or you will be in a place with no Ben & Jerry. <cackles> 

"Dismissal of habeas petition under the "total exhaustion" rule of Rose
v. Lundy, 455 U.S. 509, 520 (1982) (each claim raised by petitioner must
be exhausted before district court may reach the merits of any claim in
habeas petition)." Try that in 6 months. Good luck. You right to be
removed from prison and "be brought to the court so it can be determined
whether or not that person is imprisoned lawfully and whether or not he
should be released from custody." is effectively gone already for US
citizens, for over 20 years. Hardly anyone knows it. Best to avoid the
situation in the first place. 

Just like Linux, the law is pretty much open-source, just try to make
heads or tails out of what part you need to study first. I'm on this
rant as I just tried to "assist" a guy who is on the way to prison, with
some practical legal & life lessons, and he thinks he has rights!!! 

Bwah hah hah hah hah! Now I'm all for seeing him get more time. <eg> 
"A hard head makes a soft ass." Word!
