Habeas Corpus is not the Constitution nor does suspending it mean martial law. Redefinition fallacies.

There is no authorization for martial law here either. Lincoln did not impose martial law. The 'Civil War' wasn't a civil war. It was a war between two nations.

The States do not have any authorization to impose martial law either. The 10th amendment does not give them this capability, since the States MUST conform to the Constitution of the United States as it applies to them.

You just want to discard the Constitution.
You want war.

Ummm..

Yes, the writ of habeas corpus is mentioned in the Constitution in Article I, Section 9, Clause 2. This clause is also known as the Suspension Clause.

I'll quote it here for you:
Article I, Section 9, Clause 2 of the US Constitution states that:

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.

Explanation
  • The Suspension Clause limits Congress's power to allow the executive to detain people.

  • The clause states that the writ of habeas corpus cannot be suspended unless the public safety requires it during a rebellion or invasion.

  • The clause is primarily concerned with the right to natural liberty, not the writ of habeas corpus itself.

    • The clause is located in a section of limitations, and some argue that the power to suspend lies elsewhere.
    • The clause qualifies the prohibition on suspension over the opposition of three states.

The clause specifically refers to habeas corpus itself.
You cannot destroy the Constitution to 'save it', which is what he is suggesting.
