No, it is not. We don't even have a declaration of war, so how could it be? And don't talk about responding to an emergency--it's been over a year.

Show me where in the Constitution that Suspension of Habeas Corpus can take place only when a declaration of war has been made. Also show me where there is a statute of limitations in effect on the Suspension of Habeas Corpus.

Suspension of Habeas Corpus can occur when there has been an invasion and the public safety demands it. The hijackers entered this country on false terms and conducted warlike actions from the interior of this country. I call that an invasion. The public safety demands that those suspected of hijacking airplanes be restrained.

Show me in the Constitution where habeas corpus may EVER be suspended without an Amendment.
