Watch out for this ... " 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."

The privilege was suspended during the Civil War, by presidential edict, with that suspension being found unconstitutional by SCOTUS in ex parte Merryman. Congress passed an act effectively cutting off any remedy for those who were denied due process.

If Congress suspends the Writ, you can bet whoever is president will run with it, and Courts are apt to allow it (See Germany, WWII, etc.) - so the meaning of "public safety may require it" will never be tested.

Heavy stuff, really heavy stuff.
