Mr. Adams-- I am confused by your post. I was responding to the question where to find the Habeus Corpus clauses in the Constitution, and likewise to various misrepresentations of the Court's finding in Ex Parte Milligan. I am quite willing to take your word for it that we can find the sentence you quote immediately following the Habeus Corpus sentence--but I I don't understand why you have drawn our attention to it? I am not trying to pick a fight here--I just don't see the connection.
