Does power to suspend habeas corpus sit with executive or legislative branch?
The principle of habeas corpus, a legal phrase, is a simple one: Translated from the Latin as “produce the body,” it provides that a judge may compel prosecutors to supply evidence to determine whether someone has been legally detained or arrested. In the U.S., a detained or arrested individual, or their legal representative, may ask a judge to decide based on the evidence presented whether the detainee has been legally confined.
Debates over presidential power to suspend habeas corpus resurface in Trump administration
By Brooks D. Simpson, Foundation Professor of History, Arizona State University Does Donald Trump have the power to suspend a foundational legal right to challenge a person’s arrest and detention? Americans have long debated whether the president or Congress can do this. Read complete article © The Conversation -
Debates over presidential power to suspend habeas corpus resurface in Trump administration
This is not the first time that Americans have debated which branch of government – the executive branch or Congress – has the power to suspend the privilege of the writ and under what circumstances it may do so. While the Constitution provides for the suspension of the writ, the document is silent as to who has the power to exercise this authority.

Why we need a John Adams memorial in DC Original
For some people, becoming president of the United States marks the apex of their ambition. However, it is not always the high point of their careers in public service. Perhaps the clearest examples of distinguished public careers taking a back seat to a mixed legacy as president are those of John and John Quincy Adams.

But while Tuberville’s announcement clears the way for about 400 appointments, published reports said that Tuberville would continue to block the promotions of 10 four-star generals and admirals.

As Congress prepares to head into its August 2023 break, Sen. Tommy Tuberville, a Republican from Alabama, shows no signs of ending his five-month-long hold on military promotions for several hundred senior officers, namely generals and admirals. Tuberville is blocking the Senate from considering their nominations because he opposes a Defense Department policy to reimburse travel expenses for military personnel who have to leave their states to get abortions or other reproductive care.

Simpson: Islanders Take It To the Limit One More Time: A Retrospective
The New York Islanders will travel to Tampa Bay to face the Lightning this Friday in what is the franchise’s 14th playoff series that has gone the limit. Series-deciding games are unusual: in Islanders history, they are rare if nevertheless memorable. So, as the Islanders and their fans look forward to this Friday’s contest with a mix of eagerness and anxiety, let’s recall past deciding contests, some of which are celebrated in Islanders lore while the memories of others still sting.
The Islanders Recipe for Success: Forecheck, Turnover, Counterattack
Home / Home / The Islanders Recipe for Success: Forecheck, Turnover, Counterattack Brooks Simpson 9 mins ago Home, Takes, The Team 26 Views The opening contest of the New York Islanders& Tampa Bay Lightning series saw the Isles embrace their forecheck that frustrated Tampa Bay’s breakouts and forced turnovers.
Simpson: Heating Up? Bailey, Eberle, and Nelson Finding Their Groove
Home / Home / Simpson: Heating Up? Bailey, Eberle, and Nelson Finding Their Groove Brooks Simpson 4 mins ago Home, Takes, The Team 25 Views One of the most pleasant surprises of Game 5 was that the Islanders spread their scoring throughout their lineup. Although the media has rightly highlighted Mathew Barzal’s renewed offensive success, through the first four games of the series only Barzal, Kyle Palmieri, J.G. Pageau, and Casey Cizikas had scored more than once against the Bruins.
The 1980-81 New York Islanders: The Rangers, Round 3 (Part Five)
(This is part five of a six-part series celebrating the 40th anniversary of the 1981 Stanley Cup Champions: here are parts one, two, three, and four) The 1981 Stanley Cup semifinals featured the rematch that some welcomed and some dreaded, as the Islanders confronted the past as well as the present in battling the Oh-La-La Sassoon cross-river rival New York Rangers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UilzHNm95Qg Really, guys? It had been an interesting season for the Blueshirts.
The 1980-81 New York Islanders: Edmonton, Round Two (Part Four)
(This is part four of a six-part series on the 1980-81 New York Islanders. You can find part one here, part two here, and part three here) Hindsight often allows us to foreshadow in ways that make us all feel smart. Such is the case with the Islanders’ 1981 quarterfinal duel with the Edmonton Oilers.
The 1980-81 New York Islanders: Toronto, Round One (part 3)
(This is part three of a six-part series: part one is here and part two is here). The New York Islanders finished the 1980-81 season as champions of the Patrick Division and the Clarence Campbell Conference, edging out the St. Louis Blues for the latter trophy by a mere three points. Yet division and conference standings went out the window as the playoffs began, as the sixteen teams that qualified were ranked by point totals. The Islanders’ first round opponent, with 71 points?
The 1980-81 Islanders: The Regular Season (Part 2)
(Second of a six-part series commemorating the 40th anniversary of the 1981 Stanley Cup Champions: part one is here) The 1980-81 NHL season offered the Islanders a chance to answer the question posed of any champion: could they repeat? Freed from years of whispers about choking and collapsing, and with their captain Denis Potvin healthy and ready to go, it seemed that nothing could stop them but themselves, despite the presence of several competitive clubs.
Simpson: More Cause for Concern with the Islanders
The past seven days of the Islanders’ schedule served as a rude reminder of the ups and downs of an NHL season. Recoiling from two disappointing losses to Washington that all but closed a run at the division championship, the Isles bounced back with two solid shutout wins against the Rangers, all but ending their rival’s chances of catching the Isles or making the playoffs.
Simpson: Yes, It’s Time to Worry about the Islanders
Home / Home / Simpson: Yes, It’s Time to Worry about the Islanders Brooks Simpson 4 mins ago Home, Takes, The Team 27 Views Fan bases are prone to overreact to how their team is doing. A few wins in a row leads to glowing optimism. That is the way things should be (and will always be), while a losing streak leads to wailing which is the way things are and that they are getting worse. Not everyone reacts this way, but enough do to set a tone for fan deliberations.
Simpson: Radar and the Bowtie, Egghead and Lou Loophole
High in the rafters of Nassau Coliseum hang a pair of banners honoring two Islanders legends who never donned the blue and orange: general manager Bill Torrey and coach Al Arbour. Together these two men developed one of the most remarkable dynasties in NHL history—the only US-based franchise to win four straight Stanley Cup championships.
Simpson: Wanted - a first line left wing
Anders Lee’s season-ending injury cost the Islanders their team captain and leader, to be sure. What it also cost them was their first-line left-wing whose net presence and ability to cash in on rebounds, deflected shots and loose pucks will be sorely missed. The choice of who fills his slot in the lineup must address issues of skill and style. No one is more anxious to find out the answer than linemates Mathew Barzal and Jordan Eberle.
The 1980-81 Islanders: The Prelude (Part 1)
In the next several weeks, our historian Brooks Simpson will take a look back at one of the greatest squads in both franchise and hockey history on the 40th anniversary of its championship run. Today we almost take for granted the New York Islanders dynasty of the 1980s. That dynasty provides a great heritage and at times a daunting memory of what once was. How many times have we seen Bob Nystrom’s overtime winner on May 24, 1980? What about the 15-game winning streak?
Simpson: The Case Against Acquiring Taylor Hall for the Isles
The Islanders’ decision to place injured captain Anders Lee on LTIR (long term injured reserve), with its cap consequences, renewed speculation that they are in the market for another player, preferably a winger with a scoring touch. The obvious name being circulated is Taylor Hall, who is toying away with the Buffalo Sabres. Hall will be an UFA (unrestricted free agent) season’s end. That we’re talking about Hall at all is due to the nature of the NHL salary cap and its loopholes.
Simpson: Deadline Trades Are Not the Answer in 2021 for the Islanders
Every season, as the trade deadline approaches, hockey fans speculate on who might be on the move from their team and who they might pick up. Islanders fans are not immune to this obsession, which rivals their concern over jersey design.
Simpson: Isles have been Shopping in the Toy Department all season
If you’ve ever played EA’s NHL series against the game’s AI, you soon learn to orient the game on a north-south axis, with your team always going from the bottom of the screen to the top. Given how the game’s controls work, that means you will be shooting (and scoring) against goalies by going top shelf, especially when targeting the upper corners. In short, you’re shopping in Butch Goring’s “toy department”. Butch Goring’s number 91 will forever be “In The Toy Department.” #isles.
Simpson: Opportunity and Challenge for the Islanders the next 11 games
Home / Takes / Simpson: Opportunity and Challenge for the Islanders the next 11 games Brooks Simpson 20 mins ago Takes, The Team 47 Views It’s been an up-and-down season for the somewhat streaky New York Islanders. In their last five games they claimed three narrow victories over Buffalo, including surviving a mediocre showing in their last contest; they lost two games against Pittsburgh, although in one game they played well enough to secure at least one point.
