A Clear-Cut Example of How Our Current Administration is Violating the Constitution of the United States

Article 1, Section 9, Paragraph 2 of the Constitution of the United States of America:
“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.”
The “War on Terror” involves neither a rebellion within nor an invasion of the United States, and to suspend Habeas Corpus is unconstitutional. While terrorism is certainly not a matter to be taken lightly, it does not threaten to overthrow our government.
As long as the Bush administration chooses to suspend Habeas Corpus it is violating the Constitution. How much clearer does it need to be?
