What the courts are using to hold the Bundy's and other political prisoners in pretrial detention is not an Act of Congress, it is statutory law.

The Bail Reform Act of 1985 appears in the Statutes at Large in Title II, Chapter I, Section 202 of Public Law 94-473. It may be cited as the 'Bail Reform Act of 1984'.
It looks like to me after HR 5865 died in committee this sleazy congressman slid it in as a rider to Public Law 98-473 which was a Joint Resolution - Making continuing appropriations for the fiscal year 1985, and other purposes.
