The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.

There are only two instance in which Habeas corpus can be suspended. These are in cases of rebellion or when public safety is at stake.

It doesn't. Habeas corpus should never be suspended. Lincoln did it during the civil war, and W did it just recently.
