Delhi, I refer you to an interesting old GOPcapitalist thread where he and Non-Sequitur argued about Rehnquist and Bollman and Swartwout. It contains more habeas corpus quotes and even sources for Lincoln’s “What is to become of the revenue?” quote.
See: Lincoln's Unconstitutional Suspension of Habeas Corpus - an analysis of an impeachable offense
I have followed on the web the successful career of GOPcapitalist since he terminated his FR membership. Who knows what happened to old non-seq? He’s probably running a copy machine for others and getting coffee for the professionals at an IT company.
An interesting discussion, but it proves nothing other than GOPcapitalist thought that only Congress can suspend habeas corpus. As it happens, I fall into that same camp. I believe that the founders intended for habeas corpus to be suspended by Congress alone under the circumstances outlined in the Constitution. But that, too, is merely opionion and it does not prove Chief Justice Rehnquist wrong. The Constitution is, unfortunately, vague on who may suspend habeas corpus, and the question of who has never definitively been decided by the Supreme Court. And hopefully it never will be, because in order to do so habeas corpus would have to be suspended again. I’m not looking forward to that.
Another uncharacteristic and unfair comment from you rustbucket. I haven't been on the WBTS threads as long as you - or gopc or non-seq - but I have gone back and reviewed many of the threads and a couple of things stand out. One, I don't recall non sequitur ever slandering you or offering a gratuitousness insult. Perhaps there was something but I never saw it.
As for gopc, I don't recall that he ever gave you the time of day. How could he? He was consumed with the "sound" of his own voice. My read of the threads reveals him to be a whiny b*tch who may be an ardent arguer but, like Øbozo, didn't cotton well to anyone disagreeing with him.
YMMV
