I am reminded of the punchline of that old joke about a busload of lawyers going over a cliff.

Hoover planned on breaking this law and putting 12,000 people in military and federal prisons.If the President suspends habeas corpus, as Hoover asked him to, it would in no way be breaking the law since it is a presidential prerogative explicitly enshrined in the Constitution.

12,000? What’s the point? It’s a drop in the bucket.

I am betting that it would be an entirely different world we would be living in today if he did it though...

I would wonder if J. Edgar would have led the charge in drag or not?

The point is that this is a shot over the bow should anyone even think that rounding up islamist terrorists is a good idea.

funny, considering your tagline. the president has NO authority to suspend Habeaus Corpus. Congress can ONLY overturn Habeaus during a rebellion or an invasion

I'm not sure any president has the lawful authority to suspend the writ of
habeas corpus.
But nobody stopped Lincoln when he did it.

If he had done it and gotten rid of them, we might not have 100 million plus traitors today.

A good place to start would be outside the DNC convention. Just wrap the place in razor wire, put guards on the doors and be done with it ;-)

Despite the oft-repeated rumor, there is not a single piece of reliable evidence that J. Edgar Hoover ever dressed in women's clothing.
All these references can be traced to a single page in a single book by BBC journalist Tony Summers in which he claims that an unidentified source told Summers that the source had twice seen Hoover in drag.
Summers also believes that American right-wingers plotted to assassinate President Kennedy.

JEHoover should have at least followed up on Joe McCarthy’s work and chased the traitors out of the country. That would have been a good thing!

“I would wonder if J. Edgar would have led the charge in drag or not?”
Hoover was not a cross-dresser.
It was made up out of thin air, and became a part of common knowledge through the efforts of the media and it’s cultural siblings.

"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."
Since it is the responsibility of the executive to provide a writ of habeas corpus, the suspension of the writ would entail the executive not providing it - but not providing it only in the circumstances above described.

“paranoia” ?????
You call it paranoia after those people have carried us so deep into Socialism that we can’t even drill for oil on our own land or build nuclear power plants????? You call that paranoia?
They’ve taken over our government so that it won’t even maintain our borders, and you call it paranoia?????
They’ve installed Gorbachev right her in the United States and sent Jimmy Carter, who gave away our very strategic Panama Canal, all over the world encouraging tyrants, and you call Hoover’s concern paranoia? That’s what the Communists call it.
I call it telling the truth when others hid and still hide their eyes and ears.

For now there is no evidence to whether these arrests actually occurred in practice or not.And there never will be.

Habeas Corpus writs are issued by the courts, not the executive. Any citizen in custody has the right to apply for one in court.

The FBI has no authority to “followed up on Joe McCarthys work and chased the traitors out of the country.” The AG msut authorize such actions.
