Interesting that MCA was introduced by Mitch McConnell. Challenged in 2008 (Boumediene v. Bush). 5-4 liberals wrongly ruled section 7 unconstitutional. Scalia dissent was excellent: "the Constitution does not ensure habeas for aliens held by the United States in areas over which our Government is not sovereign." Also, habeas corpus can always be suspended during insurrection and rebellion
