Happy Birthday Magna Carta!

Today is the 800th anniversary of the signing of the Magna Carta. As it states: "No free man shall be seized or imprisoned except by the lawful judgment of his equals or by the law of the land."

Discuss.
 
Re: Happy Birthday Magna Carta!

Correction: It's the 800th anniversary of the first draft to the document, and it was largely a failure in prevent civil war between King John and his barons. And I say largely a failure only because it was pretty much a complete failure. It took a solid 80 additional years for the document to truly mean something within English law, and by that time it was heavily revised.

So as long as it's the law of the land we can seize whomever we want!!!
