He's essentially saying that his adversaries have committed no crimes, and therefore can't legally be arrested, so he's going to remove the people's constitutional protections and wrongfully arrest people without cause. And his constituency thinks that's a good thing?
Kind of big of you to assume that his mouth breathing constituents knows what habeas corpus is and what it protects.
They just hear a strongman using smart words.
Resisting Trump is a crime to these people.
This is the kinda stuff they say out loud, imagine what they say behind closed doors.
"N@#$%r." They say "n@#$%r" a lot.
He said, "The sheriff is near."
I hope it's the other word. "Like a good N@#$%r, State Farm is there" doesn't have the same ring to it.
It's naggers.
So it's treason, then...
No. But combining this and the recent Economist polls, there is a 2/3 chance that everyone with a degree will be considered traitors in a few months.
For context, Stalin killed everyone in Poland with a college degree.
Pol Pot killed everyone with glasses because they were probably educated.
These things happened within living memory.
Hitler also had a 100 000 polish intelligentsia murdered as preparation for German colonization of German controlled Poland.
Authoritarians seem to believe that most people are sheep and that if you want to control those sheep, you not only have to kill the current shepherd, you also have to kill all potential future shepherds.
He needs to be charged with treason.
Was it ever not treason?
Wow, they really are not afraid anymore of saying the quiet part out loud.
"I'm a (WW1) veteran. I'm a christian. I am using the legal system to turn democracy into a dictatorship".
Remembers me of something.
Edit: *Remind me of something.
You remember, it reminds you.
And I should remember to sleep at 1 am local time, and not to write comments.
Let's hope he never gets rejected from art school.

So he’s going to arrest himself?
Okay, non-USonian here so bear with me. ¿Doesn't habeas corpus mean you need a body to prove a murder? Or I am right and this is just Republicans are being Republicans again?
"Writ of habeas corpus" is a court order to a government law enforcement organization to bring the (hopefully still alive) body of a prisoner into the court room, so the court can determine whether the prisoner is rightfully detained. It is one mechanism that prevents the United States from holding political prisoners with no charges or hearings.
Corpus delicti is the murder thing.
The right of habeas corpus refers generally to the right of the law courts to supervise the detention of prisoners. And by extension to right of citizens to petition the courts to release an improperly detained prisoner.
Habeas corpus is explicitly written into the Constitution, so you can't just repeal it by legislation like how this knucklehead is suggesting. You can suspend habeas corpus during war; that's a specific exception in the Constitution that's actually happened at various times in various wars.
The real question is if the Republicans get into power can they find some way to say we're at war (they keep saying the southern border is being invaded by immigrants) and then use that to suspend it. Then if it gets challenged the conservative supreme court can just uphold it as constitutional.
The 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force is still active, so in one sense, we've been in a forever war for the last 23 years.
And even before that we are in the war on drugs, although to be fair in the war on drugs, drugs are winning and it's by a lot.
That is why they call it "an invasion"
Thanks, this explainer explains a lot.
Latin being Latin I guess.
Fascists being fascists
They don't try to make sense, they just need to convince fools they do

What does not being a fan of Frank Lloyd Wright have to do with it?
Wow, I didn't know there was a whole architectural style thingy going on for the name! I'm looking at the pictures and... this looks respectable? Comfy? Inviting to self-realization, even?
That's what I was taught. Unless he's just outright saying everyone will be illegitimately charged with murder, but they won't be able to do anything about it?? But... that's not how any of this works, so I'm just as confused as you...
Awww, look how cute little Jamie is, imitating his idol Adolf. /s
Fucken fuckwad fascists everywhere. I really can't anymore.
Real crimes don't need special rules. You can just charge people like regular.
The way The Idiot was convicted on 34 counts... so far.
Now, therefore, as president I shall urge the Congress to enact the Writ of Habeas Dorkus, requiring a person under the influence of cerebral diarrhea to be brought before some type of human greater than 4 and one-half years of age, especially to secure the person's sufficient mental competence to be able to wipe their own ass without first tuning in to the TV for guidance, specific instruction, and moral support.
