(28,210 posts)41. The bottom line is that the Trump regime discussed the possibility of suspending Habeas Corpus but never followed
through. That's a good thing. Saner heads prevailed over the fascist loonies. "After weeks of uproar, and disagreement between government officials on whether it could be done, the proposal eventually faded from view. Asked about it later, Mr. Trump appeared to acknowledge discussing suspending habeas corpus, but downplayed that the discussions were serious, and suggested it was not worth doing so just then."
