The sov cit folks think that laws are magic words, and if you recite them in the right order you can do anything you want.

Harry brandishes his wand in the familiar circular pattern and shouts: "HABEAS CORPUS". He can feel the spell take effect. The judge's eyes glaze over, and she releases Harry's client due to lack of sufficient evidence to hold them.
