Senior White House advisor Stephen Miller said that the Trump administration is “actively looking at” suspending habeas corpus, the right to challenge a person’s detention by the government. Trump administration 'looking at' suspending habeas corpus, Stephen Miller says Does this seem like a good idea?
Don't worry. All the right wingers who have been screaming about needing guns in case of a tyranical government are certainly about to step up. Right?
Of course, it’s a great idea! Who needs a check or balance against the president, he knows what he’s doing and can’t be wrong. It’s absolutely mind blowing that the party that fears government overreach, reveres our institutions and history and wants the US to be powerful globally is cheering this idiot on. Because he’s wrecking all three. To thunderous applause.
Surely I am misunderstanding it. There's no way they are actually proposing this, right? I cannot believe what I read there.
As long as they are locking up those maga does not like, they are cool with trashing the bill of rights.
Martial law. After economic or social unrest or domestic or foreign attack. Everything is national security already Give them any reason Feels like they are inviting it
So if the administration believes it can be suspended at any time, it could be suspended for citizens, too?
To be clear, are you talking about the brown people granted refugee status that Trump revoked, the white people in South Africa that Trump is fast tracking to bring here, or both?
Wouldn’t something like this have been established by the Supreme Court … and Trump is going to override that by EO? I hope Republicans remember this when a Dem is elected and decides that EOs > laws and court precedent…
How I read it was that they are looking to suspend it in its entirety, but the reason is invasion. Surely not, right?
