Practice question
A lawful court order regulates an accused’s departure as an incident of bail in a pending criminal case. The accused argues Genuino invalidated that order solely because it rejected DOJ Circular No. 41. Which is the best response?
- Genuino’s invalidation of the circular does not by itself erase a distinct lawful judicial bail basis.
- Every judicial order is identical to the invalidated executive circular.
- Genuino abolished criminal courts’ jurisdiction over all persons on bail.
- Bail automatically cancels the right to travel forever.
- The court must treat every executive circular as a statute.
