The provision I quoted from the Constitution also says nothing about whether the writ is available only to citizens, nor does it say it is only available to petitioners in the US.

The whole constitution is limited to US citizens. Or does the bill of rights extend all human being in the world? As far as I know the Constitution does not say that the Bill of Rights only extends to US citizens. Does anyone human being any where in the world have the right to come to the US and demonstrate here. Or demonstrate at one of our emabssies? Do all human beings in the world get to vote in our elections?

If you read it again, you'll see that it is the ability of the executive to suspend the writ that is limited by actions in the US. So, you are again, wrong.

I don't understand what you are trying to say here.

Originally posted by taxwonk The conversation was also about foreign persons under custody of officers and agents of the United States, which is subject to the Constitution no matter where it operates.

That may be true, but was does the constitution say about it. Does the constitution mention how foreign nationals are to be treated by the US government? Does the Constitution mention how prisoners of war are to be treated by officers of the US government?

Originally posted by taxwonk Finally, I was responding to a statement you made where Ty had clearly stipulated the petitioner was innocent. Once again, that would make you...wrong.

How would the fact of whether or not the detainee was innocent or not affect their rights or lack of rights under the US constitution?
