A.) I already called that moment a stain on American history

B.) He remanded that right for the duration of the civil war. W and congress have remanded it for the foreseeable future.

C.) Jose Pedilla is an American citizen. Without even having established the removal of Habeus Corpus, the administration was able to keep him locked up without charge for three years. When charges were finally brought, they did not include much of what he had been accused of and locked up for. In addition, because of legal codification of the term 'enemy combatant' , which can include American citizens captured anywhere, including America, it is no longer clear if citizens classified as 'enemy conbatants' have Habeus Corpus.
