The authority to suspend habeas corpus lies with Congress, not the President, and is ONLY legal during extreme circumstances of rebellion or invasion.

Stephen Miller, who is not a lawyer, but appears to be a terrified paranoid pathetic white supremacist POS will make up his own version of the law because he doesn't know sh*t and can't argue a point without lying. He is full of sh*t.

He is not "serving" Trump. He is using him for his own evil goals.

Miller is one of the most evil people in Trump World. And there's a lot of competition!

It has never been about immigration status, it has always been about racism, bigotry and hate.

How about wearing this "Keep the immigrants, deport the racists" shirt in front of bigots? 👇

Yes it must be thru Congress but incase no one has been paying arrention - we have no congress - no republican party & actually no Supreme Court to look up too..all we have r turncoat treasonous traitors who believe in their own style of government-one party only with a Supreme leader-they all follow the same thoughts & that my friends is why trump has gotten as far as he has..yes many voted wrongly but Congress has been building their own government while serving the 2-party system this country was styled after - then when they were ready - BINGO! They were in - settled - & ready to take down America & strip her clean so it could be given over to trump to rewrite history that will glorify himself - on & on & on

Absolutely true. The orange administration is defying courts without consequences. I can foresee all pending lawsuits becoming moot if the senate approves HR 1526. The passage of this bill along with suspension of habeas corpus definitely dooms us. Incredibly I see no mainstream media covering this bill.

He says a lot of bullshit.

The Suspension Clause in the U.S. Constitution permits this suspension only in cases of rebellion or invasion when the public safety requires it.

Article I, Section 9, Clause 2:

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.

Two courts have already ruled that the Trump use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 (AEA) to allege war or public safety is unconstitutional.

They have already invoked the Alien Sedition Act based on their made up invasion by a Venezulan gang. They will do it again. Or infiltrate protests to start a fight and say it’s a Rebellion. What then? We all know it’s illegal but that doesn’t mean anything to them. 👹

Two courts have declared that it was unconsitutional.

"U.S. District Court Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr. is the first judge to rule that the Alien Enemies Act cannot be used against people who, the Republican administration claims, are gang members invading the United States.

“Neither the Court nor the parties question that the Executive Branch can direct the detention and removal of aliens who engage in criminal activity in the United States,” wrote Rodriguez, who was nominated by Trump in 2018. But, the judge said, "the President’s invocation of the AEA through the Proclamation exceeds the scope of the statute and is contrary to the plain, ordinary meaning of the statute’s terms.”

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/supreme-court-temporarily-blocks-trump-from-deporting-more-venezuelan-migrants

"In an unusual late-night order, the Supreme Court temporarily barred the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan migrants being held in Texas using an 18th century law called the Alien Enemies Act. The order came in response to an emergency petition filed by the ACLU, with Justices Thomas and Alito dissenting. John Yang speaks with Amy Howe of SCOTUSblog for more."

Trump filed a petition at SCOTUS to stay the decisions.

You are incredibly polite about all this. I saw the PBS segment. Nevertheless, the regime continues to harass and arrest people, like the Mayor of Newark, on very vague charges. It seems to me that a big part of this is forcing people to defend themselves so less attention is paid to the actual wrongdoing of ICE and their deputies.

I wish people understood even the basics of civics. I don’t know how many times I’ve explained impeachment and how the agendas are set.

I guess you haven't been following the Jerry Weiss scenario -- shared government. Only takes a few Congressional Rerpublicans. https://jerryweiss.substack.com/

Many Congressional Repubicans are mutining over budget reconciliation. Nobody is reporting on it....

"... a bloc of moderate Republicans is demanding no reductions in Medicaid benefits – a requirement experts say would be impossible to meet while achieving Republicans' spending-cut goals and other GOP priorities.

"Then there’s the blue-state Republicans who will go to the mat for lifting tax deduction limits that would benefit their constituents, but would increase the bill’s price tag, further complicating the fiscal math.

"Each group has outsized influence because of Republicans' narrow majorities in both chambers. As few as four lawmakers rebelling in the House or Senate could derail the final package, as no Democrats are expected to support the legislation.

"Their demands may be irreconcilable. But Republican leaders say failure is not an option: If they don't pass something by the end of the year, Trump's 2017 tax cuts will expire, and renewing them is a major priority for the president. There's an additional incentive to get it done, as the bill would raise the debt ceiling and avoid default without requiring negotiations with Democrats – another top goal for the party."

Meanwhile, Canada and Australia soundly repudiated their right wing and even in Ohio a Democrat trounced JD Vance's brother in a recent election.

For Habeus Corpus to be suspended the Legislative Branch has the authority to do so with specific provisions and requires a 2/3 percent vote. The Executive Branch does NOT have the authority-ever!

Free Speech For People and RootsAction call upon Congress to open an investigation to determine whether there are sufficient grounds to impeach President Trump, including:

Grounds for impeachment (From https://impeachdonaldtrumpnow.org/case-for-impeachment/why-impeachment/)

1. conspiring with others to: (a) commit crimes against the United States involving the solicitation and intended receipt by the Donald J. Trump campaign of things of value from a foreign government and other foreign nationals; and (b) conceal those violations;

advocating illegal violence, giving aid and comfort to white supremacists and neo-Nazis, and undermining constitutional protections of equal protection under the law;

abusing the pardon power;

2. recklessly threatening nuclear war against foreign nations, undermining and subverting the essential diplomatic functions and authority of federal agencies, including the United States Department of State, and engaging in other conduct that grossly and wantonly endangers the peace and security of the United States, its people and people of other nations, by heightening the risk of hostilities involving weapons of mass destruction, with reckless disregard for the risk of death and grievous bodily harm;

3. directing or endeavoring to direct law enforcement, including the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, to investigate and prosecute political adversaries and others, for improper purposes not justified by any lawful function of his office, thereby eroding the rule of law, undermining the independence of law enforcement from politics, and compromising the constitutional right to due process of law;

undermining the freedom of the press;

4.cruelly and unconstitutionally imprisoning children and their families; and

making and directing illegal payments to influence the 2016 election.

Thank you for writing this! I read about it yesterday and was horrified. And I'm even more horrified at how little attention it is getting in the media. Why isn't this the screaming headline at the top of every news website? "Trump Wants to Suspend Habeas Corpus". That should strike a dagger of fear into every American's heart. When announcing this, Miller said, "“That’s an option we’re actively looking at. A lot of it depends on whether the courts do the right thing or not.” Is that a threat to judges to rule the way Trump wants, or else? Sure sounds like one.

Musk, Miller, Vance, Yarvin & Trump take fast action, by fait accompli, and challenge the Adults to catch up. DOGE is a scam. The tariffs are a tool to solicit bribes. The dual justice system the AG Bondi is setting up. Blasting holes in the Constitution. The courts are slow. Congress is slow.

What is the breaking point for the "Honorable Cohort" in Congress? They aren't all bought and afraid.

Criminals like Trump can manifest their fantasies and float stupid ideas and make bad decisions quickly. Trump extorts law firms, universities and CBS Paramount for billions in his pocket, using the threat of retribution by abusing his elected office of trust. This, alone, is a blatant impeachable "high crime".

Take a look at the Trump Family money grab $Trump crypto coin. And his manipulation of the crypto markets using the US Treasury. He has ordered the use of taxpayer money to play crypto scam games that line his pocket. And his Trump World insiders:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/03/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-establishes-the-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-and-u-s-digital-asset-stockpile/

Yarvin's Dark Enlightenment is a fantastical immoral dictatorship that crushes human rights and personal freedoms, for the glory and ego of the power mad oligarchs.
