Yo What's Habeas Corpus Anyway? Sounds Like a Fancy Punch!

Listen up ya bum! It's your pal Rocky here comin' at ya live from the streets. I just heard somethin' that made me wanna climb the Art Museum steps all over again. This Stephen Miller guy one of Trump's fellas is talkin' 'bout suspendin' somethin' called 'habeas corpus' for migrants. Now I ain't no fancy lawyer but even I know that sounds like trouble. Seems like it's a right that lets ya challenge if the government's holdin' ya legit. Like if they threw me in the slammer for talkin' to my turtles too loud! I would scream "Yo Adrian!" all the way to the Supreme Court.

Invasion? More Like a Bad Sequel!

Miller's sayin' they're lookin' at it 'cause of an 'invasion' of migrants. An invasion? Sounds like somethin' Apollo Creed would cook up! I ain't sure about that but I’m no politician either I’m just a boxing bum that once had the eye of the tiger. This ain't no movie but they're actin' like it is. They’re sayin' the courts are blockin' 'em from sendin' folks back. Gotta ask myself what Mickey would have done.

Courts at War? Sounds Like a Rematch!

This Miller fella also said the courts are at war with everyone. War? I know a thing or two about wars. I beat Drago remember? But this ain't no fight in the ring. It's about power and who gets to make the rules. He’s saying “the courts aren't just at war with the executive branch the courts are at war these radical rogue judges with the legislative branch as well.”

Amy Coney Barrett Steps into the Ring!

Even Justice Amy Coney Barrett you know the Supreme Court gal she weighed in! She co wrote something sayin' it's mostly agreed that only Congress can do this habeas corpus thing. Like passin' the gloves before the big fight. But Trump he might just go for the knockout punch without askin'. This is gettin' messier than a cheesesteak after a 15 rounder.

History Lesson: Even Lincoln Had to Ask!

Turns out they only pulled this habeas corpus stunt four times since forever! Once during the Civil War and even Lincoln Honest Abe himself kinda needed Congress to back him up. So if Trump does this thing without Congress sayin' okay it's like fightin' dirty ya know? Like when Apollo kept hitting me when I was down...wait a minute.

Gonna Fly Now...and Think About This!

So there ya have it. This whole habeas corpus thing is a real head scratcher. It's like tryin' to understand Adrian when she's mad at me for somethin' I don't even know I did. But one thing's for sure: it's a big deal. Gotta watch what happens next 'cause like I always say 'It ain't over 'til it's over!' And this fight...it's just gettin' started. Yo Adrian! I did it!

    What about due process? Isn't that, like, a basic American thing?
