Summary

Yannis and Chris recite the history of habeas corpus, tracing it back to its predecessor, the Magna Carta. They explore how it has evolved over time, the moments in American history when it was suspended, and what those suspensions meant, bringing you all the way to the present day, where it plays a key role in Trump’s deportation policy and the current controversy surrounding it.

With me, as always, Janus Poppice, aka Yanni Flathair. Yanni flat hair, and they're not sure whether this is another episode or not because you're still wearing that Queen's shirt.
