re: #168 Bass Reeves

That wouldn’t be rewriting the law:

The Government can, however, refuse extradition even if the Supreme Court has not declared against extradition, as the law states that if certain conditions are fulfilled, a person “may” be extradited - not “shall” be extradited.

In any case, when there is no guarantee of non-extradition (whether provided for by the law or not), the point is automatically moot.
