Rhenquist is wrong, Walt. The exact same issue came up in 1862 and Justice Benjamin R. Curtis addressed it with the EXACT OPPOSITE conclusion as Rehnquist. Curtis, for the record, was a northerner who authored the dissenting opinion in Dred Scott.

"There has been much discussion concerning the question whether the power to suspend the "privilege of the writ of habeas corpus," is conferred by the Constitution on Congress, or on the President. The only judicial decisions which have been made upon this question have been adverse to the power of the President." - Justice Benjamin R. Curtis, Executive Power, 1862

You're welcome to your opinion.

Curtis wasn't a Justice when he wrote that. Why would you tell such a lie?
