WHO can suspend Habeas corpus? Its in the power of the CONGRESS ONLY, anything other then that is an UNCONSTITUTIONAL "LAW" Article 1 Section 9 Clause 2. Please Understand, I'm Going by what the CONSTITUTION say's, It is not my fault that people no longer seem to think that matters because a Public "law" trumps it. Constitution IS the LAW.

The point is that this action is not violating Constitutional Law. Aside from the fact listed in the fifth amendment. The CONGRESS made it manditory to detain suspected terrorists in Public Law 107-56.

Article 1 Section 9 Clause 2:" The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it. "
So does the war on terrorism count as rebellion or invasion? And if so, when did Congress define this as such?
