Habeas Corpus

The right of habeas corpus is the constitutionally bestowed right of a person to present evidence before a court that he or she has been wrongly imprisoned.

The law just can't keep you locked up, execute you, or decide your fate without a determination of whether you've committed a crime or not.

Section 9 of the US constitution states - The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.
Since September 11th, Habeas Corpus has been suspended and the government has the right to execute enemy combatants without trial. They've also passed law that they can execute American citizens without trial as well if they are considered a threat.

President Bush and Lincoln are the only two presidents to suspend Habeas Corpus and it is still currently suspended under the Obama administration (2010) giving the federal government full rights to assassinate whom ever they deem necessary without accusation or trial.

have you seen my new wristwatch

When you are sitting at a table eating with some boring friends, you pull your balls out of the side of your shorts, put your wrist on your thigh, put your balls on top of your wrist, and say to your friends "hey, have you seen my new wristwatch?" Your friends then look and see your balls on your wrist.

HAVE A NICE

A way of life and philosophical movement.

In a world of so much bad and complete sentences, having a nice is an open ended term and philosophical way of living life of looking at the simple things and being grateful for existence as it is.

Not to be confused with Borat's "IT'S NAICEEEEE".
Human 1 - "thanks for shopping at our store, hope to see you again soon!"

Human 2 - "thanks man, Have a Nice!"
