Constitutional Minute covering Excessive Bail

In last night’s Constitutional Minute we covered Sec. 13 of the Texas Bill of Rights, Excessive Bail.

“Let no man think we can deny civil liberty to others and retain it for ourselves. When zealous agents of the Government arrest suspected "radicals" without warrant, hold them without prompt trial, deny them access to counsel and admission of bail....we have shorn the Bill of Rights of its sanctity.”
