This guy is a flight risk in more ways than one. The judge showed sound judgement on this.

How does a “student” afford high-powered attorneys?

You did see the part in the article where the Saudi government paid the 2 million dollar bail?

The only problem: The Constitution is pretty clear on the concept of “excessive bail” and this particular case is an ideal example of that in action.


Does the Costitution apply to foreign nationals?

Obviously 2 million dollars bail is not excessive, in fact, 2 billion dollars bail is probably not excessive. Since the Saudi’s are footing the bill and the kid is a definite for fleeing with the help of the Saudi national government and John Kerry-Heinz, 2 billion wouldn’t be excessive.

If they are charged with crimes, then yes, the Constitutional provisions related to due process in criminal proceedings apply.

The Bill of Rights does not "grant" rights, it restricts the government's ability to deny the inalienable rights that all people are endowed with.
