There are only three times in American history, that I can find, that habeas corpus was suspended. The civil war, WWII, and right after 9/11. It should be noted that SCOTUS overturned the suspension after 9/11 when Bush wanted to detain and send people to Guantanamo without due process. So, there’s some precedent as to when and how, the question will be, as it is ever increasingly, what is SCOTUS gonna do?
Crazy how the “fiscally responsible” Republicans still can’t grasp money going in must be greater than money going out to decrease the deficit. There’s no way out of this shit storm without raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations. We also need a progressive capital gains tax, so that when billionaires get their dividends, they’re taxed to hell. But what the fuck do I know.
