[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Habeas corpus has only been suspended in extreme circumstances, usually involving war or armed insurrection: 1814 (Louisiana): Suspended by military commander Andrew Jackson to protect New Orleans from British invasion. 1861–1863 (Civil War): Suspended by President Abraham Lincoln to detain suspected Confederate sympathizers and draft resisters. 1905 (Philippines): Suspended by President Theodore Roosevelt during an insurrection in two provinces. 1941 (Hawaii): Suspended by President Franklin D. Roosevelt following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Basically if we are allowed to be invaded by a foreign military power or a domestic uprising, the POTUS will suspend. It's probably easier to look the other way while a foreign power does the dirty work. [/quote][/quote]
