I don't think there's a "Constitutional right of Habeus Corpus", per say

"The only reference to the writ of habeas corpus in the U.S. Constitution is contained in Article I, Section 9, Clause 2. This clause provides, "The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it." habeas corpus

This clause provides, "The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it."

Ah, thanks. Not sure how it applies to Terri, though, since legally she was not considered to be imprisoned. Have habeus corpus procedings ever been brought in cases where the person in question was held by someone other than the state (e.g. in child custody disputes)?

Ah, yes, I remember it well. Terri the pirate invaded Tampa in the Gasparilla Parade. For that invasion, she paid w/her life.
