(I’m hoping that the good folks over at Popehat might have an answer for this, but I welcome comments from other sources.)
The Eighth Amendment states:
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
Question: Is one million dollars bail on a misdemeanor charge “excessive bail” in the Eighth Amendment sense?
Edited to add: So now his bail is down to $100,000, and he’s scheduled to be released, in return for taking the sign down. This doesn’t change the question, but I did want to make sure that update got in.
