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!
