In other words, are you suggesting that bail should always be granted?
I'm always amazed at the speed people jump into the fray.
Let's keep things in context, ok?
To wit:
[edited - 9th US Circuit Court finding]: "We hold only that such an alien has a right to an individualized determination of a right to bail, tailored to his or her particular circumstances," the court wrote. Generally, bail is denied when a defendant is considered a flight risk or a danger to society. The case decided Wednesday was brought by Hyung Joon Kim, a U.S. resident and a citizen of Korea. When his three-year term for a California petty theft conviction expired, the government detained him while starting deportation proceedings. Kim sued, arguing the 1998 federal law denying bail hearings was unconstitutional. |
When the crime is not determined of "moral turpitude",
deportation can be argued more securely.
In any event, our Constitution provides for due process
[and all it's legal insinuations], and it does so for all on our soil.
We either dispense our Constitutional rights selectively,
disregarding our founder's intent, or support it in it's full.
I do not believe we should tear our Nation's basic fibers
apart out of prejudiced fear.
Thanks
