Indeed a well kept secret. As I said, there's a mountain of "professionals" who are more than willing to keep quiet on this. It may have it's abuses, but the system errs on the side of letting people go free vs. falsely convict. The beauty of it is that every day people have the ability to create justice where our laws might not have been created so.
I think that JN has been effectively pushed to such a small percentage of cases and nobody in power wants it well known, so I doubt any "memo" is going to strip this power (like removing the right to a writ of habeas corpus for "enemy combatants" - even American Citizens which violates at least 3 or 4 of the Bill of Rights of the constitution). But if it does, I just might break out my passport (with included RFID, DNA sample, and barcode that matches my implanted satellite trackable Personal ID chip) and go native someplace... <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
