[You, pettifogging] The same kind of talk you claim justifies unilateral secession.
Nice try at misdirection, Al. "Oh, look -- there goes ManBearPig!!"
You don't even have a quote or a line of the Constitution on which to base your airy assertion that the President has the power to suspend habeas corpus, and yet here you are. That's pettifogging -- and "living Constitution" b.s., rich and smelly.
The power to suspend is located in Article I, which is about the powers of Congress. It is likewise a Congressional power -- or will you claim it now for a federal district judge? You want it up in the air -- how about I suspend your "corpus"? Let's all just take some initiative here and go around suspending habeas all over the place, because Non-Sequitur claims that the Framers forgot to forbid the practice to presidents, judges, enterprising ambulance-chasers and private citizens.

I believe we all understand that the Constitution means absolutely nothing. Its deft defense by your hero renders it merely a fig leaf for those with the most guns. Might makes right. I seriously wish you would not try and resurrect what you heartily enjoyed destroying?
The fact that the Constitution is silent on who may suspend it leaves the question of whether only Congress can suspend it or if the President may suspend it under the allowed conditions open to question.

And also powers denied to the states, in Section 10.

Now you're just being silly. Again.
