Harry Litman: In other words, if the courts don't rule for us, we'll suspend habeas corpus. [View all]

In other words, if the courts don't rule for us, we'll suspend habeas corpus. He is one cold-blooded legal ignoramus. Suspension, an extraordinarily grave move, is not for the President to do unilaterally, notwithstanding anything about Lincoln's presidency.

Stephen Miller says they are “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which is only allowed when the US has been invaded or during an insurrection, which would not allow people to challenge their incarceration in court if they are arrested and detained.
