Lawyer here. The Suspension Clause of the United States Constitution specifically included the English common law procedure in Article One, Section 9, clause 2, which demands that "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."

This is a particularly powerful tool for both sides. Be careful.

If, and that's a big if, you get a President Biden within the next 20 days, you may see a suspension of habeas corpus.

Lawyers tend to die first in the revolution either by the revolutionary or the state.. just pointing that historical fact out. Coincidence though i think most of congress and staff has law backgrounds..

Im saying nobody gives a shit about the law until the dust has settled in a civil conflict like this. Which is why lincoln did so well dealing with the south and others during the civil war, even when all the lawyers said "that's illegal don't do that"

That's fine and all, unless you're on the shit end of Shays' Rebellion or the Civil War.

Well i would say exhibit A of whether you are on the right side or shit side would be a county by county breakdown of voting.

That's not what I mean by shit side - I mean being on the losing end of any civil war, no matter who had the morally sound position.

Now is the time to suspend habeas corpus, give the Dems a quick 30 minute military tribunal, line them up against the wall, and then proceed to water the tree of liberty
