Alan Dershowitz experienced this extortion decades ago. Such tyranny should result in the people proposing it being driven from office.

Give up your rights or remain in jail is about as clear an example of extortion that exists.

I think there is something in the Constitution about the right to bail...

It is the 8th amendment.

“Excessive bail shall not be required, no excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.”

This atrocity of justice is the most important news story in the USA today, and predictably, the MSM is either silent, or is towing the official Waco PD "biker shootout" cover story line.

such clauses/conditions should be void as a matter of law. Unenforceable in any for and it should be unethical for a prosecutor to demand it or a judge to allow it.
