“There is no “Noble Cause” clause in the Constitution...”
The Constitution provides for the suspension of Habeas Corpus in Article I, section 9. Congress, not the president certainly has this right and Congress subsequently, legally suspended it once the constitutionality question was raised.
You said: The Constitution provides for the suspension of Habeas Corpus in Article I, section 9. Congress, not the president certainly has this right and Congress subsequently, legally suspended it once the constitutionality question was raised.
Article 1, Section 9 says: 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.
Since the area is about limitations on Congress, I would guess that unless we are in open rebellion (which the Forefathers would be actively encouraging/leading right now, or if we are being invaded (I guess they could suddenly decide all the illegal "immigrants" are an invasion if they wanted to really twist the knife on us...), it cannot be suspended by the Congress, or by a unilateral executive order from a president that decided he don't likes da way tings is goin'.
