As you know, Chief Justice Rehnquist disagrees with you.

And as you know, Chief Justices Marshall and Taney disagreed in actual court opinions with Rehnquist's purported views from a speech at some law school. Two beats one, so you lose.

It's hard to imagine that you can afford to pay an ISP, get a computer, keep your power turned on, and log on to FR, and you can't follow the argument.

Chief Justice Rehnquist, we can reasonably infer, has heard of Chief Justice Marshall and Chief Justice Taney. And since he wrote a book on civil liberty in wartime -- a book that takes its title from one of Lincoln's speeches, I think we can infer that he had heard of the cases from Marshall and Taney you think important.

What is at issue here is --your-- opinion versus that of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. And he says the issue of whether the Writ may be suspended by the president has --never-- been authoritatively answered to this very day.

And with all due respect --which ain't much--, his opinion holds more weight than yours.Walt
