I'm starting a new little feature just for fun. Being a Latin teacher (among other things), it always interests me to see Latin phrases used in the media. This one,
habeas fascismus was used in this article as a play on
habeas corpus.
Habeas corpus means "you may have the body." The article argues that the Military Commissions Act of 2006 suspends
habeas corpus and weakens individual rights in the United States.
Habeas fascismus means "you may have fascism."
