JFK's most famous line:
is a reformulation of American fascist Lawrence Dennis' line in The Dynamics of War and Revolution:
And Lincoln suspended habeas corpus during the Civil War. The point isn't that these dudes were 100% pure and in-line with whatever your current personal political beliefs are. That shit is what leftist cancel culture is about. This is about one side attempting to rewrite history - e.g. "The Party Switch"
Lincoln was following the Constitution when he did. In grade school & high school it was taught that Lincoln was evil for doing this and were told he went against the constitution in doing so. It wasn't until law school that I learned that was total bullshit.
Article I, Section 9, Clause 2: “The Privileges of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it."
Doesn't make it wrong. I know we're all becoming more anti-statist as time goes on, but if you're a patriot or a nationalist, I think that line applies pretty well to their philosophy. As we're well aware, a socialist would probably agree with the inverse.
