In front of a Senate Judiciary Committee, Alberto Gonzales stated, �There is no expressed grant of habeas in the Constitution: there�s a prohibition against taking it away�. Sen. Arlen Specter(R) was left speechless at the statement.
Gonzolas continued, �The Constitution doesn�t say every individual in the United States or citizen is hereby granted or assured the right of habeas corpus. It doesn�t say that."
"It simply says the right shall not be suspended, except in the case of rebellion or invasion�. Specter shot back, �you may be treading on your interdiction of violating common sense�.
