The Writ has nothing to legislative power. It's a privilege.

The constitution and centuries of common law say otherwise. See article I, Sections 1 and 9.

I am still waiting for you to tell where the Constitution -specifically- prohibits the president from suspending the Writ.

Article I, Section 1, which specifically vests the power to the legislature and no other branch.

I don't see any language there equivalent to: "The President may not ever suspend the Writ of Hebeas Corpus."

Where do you see that?

If you are going to play this game, I can count on you to never say that secession is legal either --based on Article one, Section one. Right?
