I suggest that you read the Constitution. It can indeed be 'legally' suspended.

Show me the clause then. I can only guess that you are inserting some subjective interpretion into some passage in the Constitution. Let's have it.

Clearly, no man can suspend the right to life, libertyh or property - these are GOD-GIVEN and man cannot abrogate that which is imparted by God Himself. So, to assume that these rights can be suspended is to militate against every moral principle defended by the founding fathers themselves.

Article I, Section 9, Clause 1: "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."

Notheing subjective about it. It is very very clear!

Article I Section 9.
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.
