This law would take the victim. who again has paid his debt to society. and place him into confinement where the sacred right of the writ of habeas corpus can never be applied. Is this upholding democracy as written in our fundamental document? What about the inflicting of excessive punishment for a crime. another sacred safeguard to democracy? Under the terms of this act a man who has served his sentence and thereby paid his debt to society may be placed in confinement if it so happens that his country has been erased from the map or he. for some reason beyond his control. is unable to obtain a visa. Are my colleagues who are trying to do this upholding and defending democracy? What about this type of punishment for offenses?
