Civil Liberties in the New Confederate States of America: Procedural Due Process & Habeas Corpus

Habeas Corpus requires the state to present the arrestee to a magistrate & state legal cause for detention.

Due Process requires the accused to have a fair trial such as the right to present evidence claiming innocence, the right to be presumed not guilty until proven otherwise, a trial by jury of peers including the right of jurors to judge the law as well as facts, right to counsel, freedom from self-incrimination & double jeopardy, freedom from cruel & unusual punishment as well as excessive fines, freedom from penalty discrimination that is based on anything but the severity of the crime or offense committed as examples.

All three branches of government have violated due process with laws impairing defendants & unfairly empowering the state. A Nazi, fascist, & socialist society denies due process because it undermines the power of the regime to suppress political opponents & dissidents. Nazi societies protect government from their own citizens, wheres free societies protect citizens from their own governments.

The New Confederate States of America will protect due process rights & even specifically requires jurors to be notified of the right to judge the law as well as the facts with the defense having the right to make their case about why jurors should judge the law as unjust.

The United Soviet States of America disrespects due process. The National Defense Authorization Act passed in December gives the President the power to detain any person merely because the president thinks the target is a terrorist. There's no habeas corpus & what's even worse is the military can detain citizens & even send them to Guantanemo Bay in Cuba.

This is not the kind of dystopic society I would want to live in. I want to live in a free society & the New Confederate States of America is that free society that has yet to be created.
