Chief Justice Rehnquist is a speech in 2000 admits that the matter of just who may suspend habeas corpus has not been authoritatively answered to this day.

Incidentally, Rehnquist voted with the plurality in Hamdi, didn't he? Guess if he had any doubts, they were resolved by 2004, huh?

By the way, how did Scalia vote in that case?

I highly doubt it since Hamdi didn't deal with a suspension of habeas corpus but a denial of due process.

With the majority. Thomas was the sole desenting vote. And by the way, you might want to go back and read the Hamdi v Rumsfeld decision and tell us all who had suspended habeas corpus. Was it the president? Congress? Rumsfeld?
