📝 Tell Congress: Act unequivocally to protect habeas corpus, a fundamental American right Without legal basis, the administration is “actively looking at” suspending habeas corpus –– a right guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution that allows a person to challenge their detention before the courts. It ensures every person on U.S. soil is protected from arbitrary and unlawful imprisonment. It’s fundamental to American identity, but, then again, this administration has shown little but disdain for what it means to be an American, hasn’t it? Across the executive branch, they’re pretzeling themselves to circumvent the rule of law, expand presidential powers, and render the independent judiciary irrelevant, likely because judges are doling out inconvenient rulings. So we can’t rest on hope alone. We must take action and demand lawmakers across the partisan spectrum defend our Constitution. Sign the petition! https://lnkd.in/g935Vc5q
