Suspending habeas corpus?
Suspending habeas corpus is shorthand for eliminating a process that protects a constitutional right, like the right of due process.
It's easy to dismiss something with a Latin phrase that discusses a writ about something or other. What it hides is an attack on the Constitution, an action so consequential that it has been invoked only twice and only in times of war.
Rending our founding document by engaging in fantasies as the rationale for invoking war powers damages what little credibility this administration has and is much more important than this band of miscreants.
Due Process is just one of the guardrails put into the Constitution for exactly the purpose that they're trying to get around it. Like posse comitatus, it is designed to question oversteps of authority. When people liken what is happening to fascism, it seems less hyperbole where the historical parallels are obvious and now in play. Here, not elsewhere.
