So because the Constitution defines some rather extreme circumstances where Habeas Corpus is allowed to be suspended, the Constitution is "fair weather" when it comes to civil rights?
- dhanna 5y agoDo you have any familiarity with case law? The courts major job is to deal with the shades of grey that’s our reality.
- jaywalk 5y agoYes? I understand what courts do, my only point was that setting out two extreme situations where a certain right may be suspended doesn't constitute "fair weather" in my eyes.
