"The court did not need to give itself jurisdiction in habeas corpus matters - it already had it from the Judicial Act of 1789 and that same jurisdiction had been upheld in Bollman."

Except in cases where the writ has been suspended. Farber, a fully credentialled legal scholar provides the rationale. You, who have no similar credentials, are in no position to authoritatively reject the argument.

Except in cases where the writ has been suspended.

No exception, capitan. No demonstration was ever made that the writ had been properly suspended. Your continued assertion otherwise amounts to nothing more than the affirmation of a consequent.

Farber, a fully credentialled legal scholar provides the rationale.

And Farber, as usual, employs a sloppy and fallacious argument that, not unlike your own, consists of the affirmation of his own consequent.

I did not present myself as an authoritative credentialed attorney, thus your ad verecundiam appeal would not apply. I did, however, observe a substantial logical flaw in the arguments of both you and Farber, to which neither of you have produced a sufficient response.
