The Suspension Clause protects liberty by protecting the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus. It provides that the federal government may not suspend this privilege except in extraordinary circumstances: when a rebellion or invasion occurs and the public safety requires it.

Article I

Section 9 Powers Denied Congress

Clause 2 Habeas Corpus

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.

ArtI.S9.C2.1 Suspension Clause and Writ of Habeas Corpus

Keep in mind folks that the same people who did and supported the mandates are still in power and right now they are cooking up the next calamity. If you disagree, you’ve not learned anything from the past 3 years.
