Even now, the US is legally allowed to suspend habeas corpus in times of war.
Where in the constitution is this stated? Just because Lincoln did it doesn't make it legal (and, by the way, fuck Lincoln for doing it).
Existential war is no time to make a priority of civil liberties.
It's exactly the time to make a priority of civil liberties. Your argument is precisely the one all the Branch Covidians were using to justify their illegal excesses since 2020.
"Omg muh emergency means I can trample all over you." How about NO.
Literally the only place habeas is mentioned in it: "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". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habeas_corpus_in_the_United_States

okbuddyACLU
I stand corrected. (However, that's supposed to only be invoked via Congress, not by illegal presidential decree as Lincoln did.)
A stupid response on its face since the ACLU of 2022 would agree with you, not me.
