Your interpretation means nothing in the grand scheme of things. The fact that I would tend to agree that the founding fathers meant for the power to suspend habeas corpus to be held by Congress also means nothing. The fact is that the Constitution does not explicitly state that only Congress can suspend habeas corpus, and until the Supreme Court rules on the issue then it had not been definitively decided. Is that plain text enough for you?
Sure it does. Article I, Section 1 explicitly says: "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States"
Now is or is not the suspension power granted in that same article?
Yes, my opinion has less validity than yours, which you spout freely and then deny others the privelege.
"Lick the boots." Got it. Thanks.
The constitution didn't say that Sherman's troops couldn't rape southerners on their way through, either, so that must've been okey-dokey as well. Maybe we could ask Chase what he thought of that? Wait a minute, why even bother... let's just ask Lincoln, since he is ultimately the arbiter of his own power.
Never has their been collusion by all branches of government against the people as there was during post-war "reconstruction." Dare someone question that validity of their acts? Not so, because Non-Sequitur will remind them that men with guns stand ready to protect their political power at all costs - well, actually only the cost of your life, but losers who think they're "free enough for now" are a dime a dozen.
