by Rod Williams, May 20, 2025 - It is freighting to think that this administration, or any administration, would consider suspending the right of habeas corpus. On the rare occasion that it has happened, it was in time of war and was approved by Congress.
It is also freighting to think that the Director of Homeland Security does not even know what it is. When asked, she answered, "well habius corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country." What??
In this video, New Hampshire Senator Maggie Hassan questions Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on the White House's assertion that they can suspend habeas corpus over border concerns. As Senator Hassan says, the right of habeas corpus is what separates us from police states like North Korea and Russia.
It seems that we are daily moving closer and closer to seeing our Constitution shredded and American ceasing to be a constitutional democracy. It is so disappointing to see people who have professed to love the Constitution, not be alarmed at what is happening, and to actually embrace it.
