The Suspension Clause:
1) Doesn't allow the President to unilaterally suspend habeas, especially when Congress is in session;
2) Applies only to cases of invasion or rebellion (this is quite clearly neither); and
3) *Even then,* applies only "when the public safety may require it." (It doesn't.)

Stephen Miller says they are “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which is only allowed when the US has been invaded or during an insurrection, which would not allow people to challenge their incarceration in court if they are arrested and detained.

Some Democratic member of Congress should propose a bill saying that a POTUS may golf at government expense no more than, say, once every 14 days, and must reimburse the Treasury for anything beyond that.
A couple of golf outings could pay for over 300 federal jobs for an entire year.
