I knew she was going to invoke Lincoln’s name, they like to do that every chance they get, as if Lincoln wouldn’t be HORRIFIED by them claiming him as one of theirs.
Lincoln suspended Habeus Corpus because he was in a highly unusual situation, and even so, he was very uncomfortable ordering it. DC was the capital of the Union, and Richmond was the capital of the Confederacy, and both cities were extremely close to each other. The streets of DC, and the surrounding states of Virginia (Confederate), and Maryland (Union), were filled with Confederate operatives and spies, attempting to interfere with military operations, and even plotting to assassinate the President.
The Constitution allows for the suspension of Habeus Corpus in:
Article I, Section 9, of the Constitution, which specifies a suspension of the writ “when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.”
Lincoln was faced with an actual rebellion, America is not facing a “rebellion or invasion” of any kind, no matter how much HitlerPig wants to characterize the issue of undocumented immigrants.
