You object to the suspension of habeas corpus on constitutional grounds, yet have no objection to failure to establish a branch of government required by the constitution.

Curious. Tu Quoque Boy's tu quoque reasoning is getting sloppy. It is a constitutional right of Congress to set up the court system how it pleases. For better or worse, this also means it takes an affirmative act of Congress to create that court in the first place. If Congress drags its feet and blocks the bill there is effectively nothing constitutionally that may be done to speed it up other than the legislative process. Habeas Corpus, on the other hand, may only be suspended ONE way in the constitution. That is by a vote of the legislature.

I wasn't the one who introduced it, boss. You have to take that up with 4CJ.
