I was shocked that Americans gave this up.

“No freeman shall be taken or imprisoned or disseised or exiled or in any way destroyed, nor will we go upon him nor will we send upon him except upon the lawful judgement of his peers or the law of the land.”
Article 39, Magna Carta, 1215

But as of 2006 your government can arrest you keep you without trial.

this probably points out what you mean

did anyone see this "special comment", i was curiouse if it was broadcasted during prime time or if it was on in the middle of the night.

Thank you tom goose great video. I am totally bewildered that this right was given up.
