The Constitution nowhere says what the president may or may not do in regard to the Writ.

Article I, Section 1, which specifically gives the ONLY means of suspending the writ to Congress, says otherwise. And when it comes to trusting what the Constitution says or does not say, Walt, I tend to put more weight in the text of the document itself than in you. Sorry if you don't like that, Walt.

It doesn't say "only". You only wish it did.

The Constitution nowhere mentions what the president may or may not do in regards to the Writ.

The Supreme Court did say in the Prize Cases: "The Constitution confers on the President the whole Executive power."

President Lincoln had to act. Anyone who loves this country won't quibble with what he did.

It doesn't say that -specifically-. You will tell any kind of lie.
