Habeas corpus has been a bedrock right of English speaking people since before the Magna Carta. At its most basic level, liberty is about not being snatched off the streets without being charged with a crime before a judge.

Trump and his merry band of sociopaths have thrown habeas corpus in the dumpster. They don’t care about the consequences, because they will never come. Bird your loins, America.
Except that Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society believe in the unitary executive and SCOTUS is actually upholding that notion.
And Unitary executive is a politically correct way of saying dictator.
And Trump has already declared war on immigrants. To follow is a mixed war when he declares war on the citizenry in fact he has so much as done it, by executive orders delegimizing law firms, fedral courts, the media that doesn't suck his male member
So did Judge Walker at the DC CT of Appeals. Now they say that he delcared war on Venezuela.
"Like El Aissami, Nicolas Maduro, who claims to act as Venezuela’s President and asserts control over the security forces and other authorities in Venezuela, also maintains close ties to regime-sponsored narco-terrorists. Maduro leads the regime-sponsored enterprise Cártel de los Soles, which coordinates with and relies on TdA and other organizations to carry out its objective of using illegal narcotics as a weapon to “flood” the United States. In 2020, Maduro and other regime members were charged with narcoterrorism and other crimes in connection with this plot against America." https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/invocation-of-the-alien-enemies-act-regarding-the-invasion-of-the-united-states-by-tren-de-aragua/
Long before Chavez, a lot of Florida real estate was financed by Venezuelan oil money. From wiki -- In the early 70's it crashed when the oil embargo ended."Saudi Venezuela", as the global energy crisis took the price of crude oil – by far the country's biggest export – from $2 a barrel to $35 a barrel. Led by Pérez, Venezuela embarked on an orgy of costly mega-projects, alleged corruption and a grandiloquent foreign policy as the self-styled "leader of the third world". Despite unprecedented export earnings, however, the country in effect went bankrupt.
You know more about that than I, It doesn't alter the fact that Exxon Mobil using the CIA and State department as a tool, is responsible for the mess in Venezuela.
Also I remember, not to long ago, when Gas was up to$5 a gallon, Venezuela which owns or owned Citgo, was dropping it's prices and IIRC, they incurred the wrath of khan from our own oil cabal

GIRD your loins. (I really find issue with Substack device apps, iOS in particular which don’t have a way to edit.)
However suspended by Lincoln. In Ex Part Milligan, SCOTUS restored it. https://teachingamericanhistory.org/document/ex-parte-milligan-2/#:~:text=The%20US%20Supreme%20Court%20took,courts%20were%20open%20and%20operating.
Trump alleges that we are at war. Therefore doesn't apply
Well, we're pretty clearly not at war.

So glad to read a comment that mirrors my suspicions exactly, William!

Venezuela, another problem created by corporate control over our politics.
It started when Chavez told Exxon Mobil, that Venezuela oil belong to Venezuela (Shades of Mossadegh huh.
Exxon then used it's political muscle to overthrown Chavez, then sanctions forcing Chavez to make alliance with Americans enemies.
We never learn. Best government money can buy, Now Musk a bought Trump and the entire US government, bargain price too,only $270 million

True. Real estate investors in Miami, however, had probably more to do with Venezuelan economics than anyone in Caracus.
With all of that money floating around, there has to be corruption.
In fact, IMO, government and corruption are synonyms.
Joe or Jane six pack enters congress as ordinary middle class citizen, stays a few years and voila a millionaire.
And then there is nepotism, Hunter Biden trading on his fathers name.
He is the most obvious example. Lachlan Murdoch inheriting his fathes company while he is still alive.
Lisa Minelli would have been a nobody save for her parents.
Politics, entertainment, nepobabies where ever you look
Look at Saudi Arabia and the UAE, all of the sons and grandsons, nephews and cousins of the "King" and Sheiks, are millionaires.
Putin has billion dollar rubles all over Russia for his string of mistresses.
Corruption is what makes the world go round.
Maduro isn't very smart, all he has to do is sent Trump a bouguet and suck on his phallus and will be well
The emperor has no clothes?
Mr. Solomon, the emperor may have no clothes; but he has thugs armed with guns.
