But..But...Lefty Lincoln suspended habeas corpus by General Orders No. 141 on September 25, 1862, He didn't even ask Congress. Lincoln subjected protestors to martial law and the suspension of habeas corpus. Like a dicktator he had 1000's of his dissenters and so-called rebels, rounded up and thrown in jail just for criticizing him.
Lincoln fans would say, "Surely if Lincoln did it it must be OK."
President Ulysses S. Grant did it on October 17, 1871, He suspended Habeas Corpus in nine counties in South Carolina.
President George W Bush did it on Oct. 17, 2006, suspending the right of habeas corpus to persons "determined by the United States" to be an "enemy combatant".
Did I miss any?
Oh ya...
President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued an executive order that allowed the military to detain individuals of Japanese descent living on the West Coast and hold them illegally in concentration camps with no civil rights.
The Biden Regime from 2021-2025. J6 prisoners were functionally denied every aspect of Habeas Corpus known to man, and left to rot in solitary confinement cells.
I heard all a President has to do is claim that there is an invasion, rebellion, or insurrection and it's damn the Constitional right to Habeas Corpus.:-k
