    Congress Just Deleted Habeas Corpus
    From The Constitution On Its Website
    Aug 6

    Section 9 includes eight different
    clauses, but likely the most
    relevant to the Republican
    leadership is the right of habeas
    corpus. �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,� reads the
    Constitution. At least the copy
    maintained by the non-profit
    National Constitution Center reads
    that way, because the congressional
    version skips it entirely. The
    Trump administration struggles
    mightily with habeas corpus, the
    provision descended from English
    legal tradition that gives people
    the government locks up � or
    exports to El Salvadoran torture
    camps � the right to force the
    government to explain why.
    Homeland Security Secretary
    Kristi Noem famously floundered
    when asked to define the right,
    but next time she won�t have to
    worry because Congress shot it
    down like a rambunctious puppy.

    And it�s just gone� the copy jumps
    directly from the end of Section 8
    to Article II.

    The whole document is an embarrassment and counter to the agenda of our President. I don't see why it isn't burned. Why don't they just skip
    the upgrade and give Trump the $1 billion it's going to cost to upgrade?

    Conservative Common Sense wins the day!
