feel no burden to prove anything. That just about sums up your entire posting attitude around here, ftD. You hurl speculation and unfounded assumptions as if they were concrete arguments while simultaneously dismissing documented factual information that inconveniences your preconceived position. At least you admit it though, which cannot be said of your friends Why don't you complete what I said?
I said I had not need to prove anything since the right to suspend the Writ is in the Constitution.
You have a nasty habit of leaving things out.
As for documentation, I have given you plenty.
You just reject the sources as soon as they go against your own bias.
FtD, did Congress ever condemn Lincoln's emergency war measures? As I recall they endorsed, sooner or later, almost every action he took, including the suspension of the priviledge of the writ of habeas corpus. And, in addition to Congress's approval, during the war the Court found no fault with Lincoln's actions and policies.
To paraphrase Jaffa, it is not as important where the authority is located in the constitution, but why it is there in the first place. Of course, the Rockwellian cultists will never "get it."
