Maggie Hassan: What is habeas corpus?

Kristi Noem: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

Maggie Hassan: That's incorrect

*talking over each other*

Kristi Noem: President Lincoln used it

Maggie Hassan: Habeas corpus is the legal principle that requires that the government provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people. If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens, and hold them indefinitely for no reason

UPDATE added archive link because paywall

Legitimately thought this was Mariska Hargitay before I read the title. I was so excited for some SVU drama.

In relation to crimes that should be investigated, Kristi Noem once bragged that she killed her own dog because it wouldn't behave.

Really interesting how we went from folks like William F. Buckley trying to dress conservatism up with a veneer of intellectualism what with his preoccupations over "immanentizing the eschaton" to "habeus corpus means I habeus the right to make you a corpus."

based on the text following, namely [noem: "abraham lincoln used it..."], it's pretty clear that she only half listened to an explanation of it and has it confused with the suspension of habeas corpus. the dumbest reich with it's best shooters everybody. isn't it fun she could have been the VP instead of the lawyer that definitely knows the definition of habeas corpus if she wasn't a literal puppy killer?

Good catch. I couldn't understand what was being said while they were talking over each other.

The year is 2025. Every female Republican politician is a clone of Sarah Palin

Kristi Noem: Yeah but only if there is a statue of limitations standing next to it.

Really cool to muster this meager, hall monitor energy after president prostate cancer snagged the ability to indefinitely detain migrants, libs.

It's the fucking Onion. Yeesh.

In other news - visually she has an uncanny valley vibe. She reminds me of the women in the 1970s movie The Stepford Wives.
