The Bail Reform Act of 1984 is not an ACT OF CONGRESS; Here is the proof

[monty]

Ryan Bundy's paralegal has researched the 'Bail Reform Act of 1984'. She discovered it died in committee and was never passed by Congress.

The form an Act of Congress:
1 U.S. Code § 101 - Enacting clause

Current through Pub. L. 114-38. (See Public Laws for the current Congress.)

• US Code

prev | next
The enacting clause of all Acts of Congress shall be in the following form: “Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled.”

(July 30, 1947, ch. 388, 61 Stat. 634.)

*******************

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.

Title 18 USC Sec 40001(a) No citizen shall be imprisoned or otherwise detained except pursuant to an Act of Congress; and . . .

******************

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.
