As you well know, it doesn't say that.

Yes it does, Walt:

"The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it"

The term "unless" refers to the only circumstances by which habeas corpus may be suspended, while the first part of the clause says that, excepting those terms, it may not be suspended. Even your false god admitted that much.

Quote President Lincoln to that effect.

Let me help:

"The resolutions promise to support me in every constitutional and lawful measure to suppress the rebellion; and I have not knowingly employed, nor shall knowingly employ, any other."

You just got caught in a big whopper. You don't seem rational.

Walt
