Yes. The constitution says people cannot “be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law,” and “the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial,” and “excessive bail shall not be required.” But these parts of the constitution have been long disregarded, and it’s hard to imagine a government that attacked people for having constitutionally protected opinions about Charlie Kirk’s death would allow the suspected killer to be living a decent life.

Does the constitution state that people can’t be imprisoned before their court date?
