Ironic, since the writ of Habeas corpus predates even the Magna Carta.

Habeas corpus goes back to around 1166, which for those keeping track, is only around 600 years before the founding of the USA…

    The US was founded on ostensibly three major legal ideas.

    Habeus Corpus.
    Due Process.
    The Magna Carta.

    We don't seem to currently have any of the three.
