In time of war, all the laws can be suspended except for habeas corpus (the "Great Writ," dating back to 1305) Well, actually we can. It's right in the Constitution. Art I, Section 9, paragraph 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. Congress has but to say the word, like in 1863 when they granted Lincoln (after the fact) his suspension with the Habeas Corpus Act. Derek
