Could you please point out who had suspended habeas corpus in this case?

Answer: Nobody, because Marshall's opinion ordered Bollman and Swartout released. Ergo, habeas corpus had not been suspended.

Now go away. You're just trying to be annoying.

Nah, I like it here. So when Capitan Refugio stated that the matter of who could suspend habeas corpus was not a question before the bench in Bollman, and you asked for a source, were you just trying to be annoying, too? Because you just admitted that habeas corpus had not been suspended. And since it had not been suspended then it could not be ruled on. So what was your point, if you had a point?
