Well, habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the President has to be able to remove people from this country.

Maybe she just looked at the words and thought, hmmm, maybe that means like, right, 'habeas corpus', like I get it.
Maybe it means 'has the corpse'.
Sure, let's go with that.

It's really easy to make up things that allow you to justify putting out whatever ruling you want politically but that does not make those rulings constitutional on the Plane of Truth. This is precisely the issue - most US judges don't bother using the Constitution any more; they just decide what decisions are in their interest and work backwards to find arguments to give some veneer of respectability. That Americans of genuine intelligence and political knowledge just accept this is truly sad. Almost as sad as the inability of Congress to do anything useful...

I submit the worst attack on democracy in this country is Trump’s blanket pardons of all January 6th insurrectionists and rioters.

If I want to be charitable to her, we mostly hear the phrase in the context of "suspending habeas corpus", and she may have been explaining what she thinks that means.

But should we really give benefit of the doubt to puppy-killers?

Kristi Noem has the most important qualification to be in Trump's cabinet: Namely that she is a piece of trash just like the convicted felon himself and all the other spineless fools who drool over him. Being so stupid that she doesn't know what habeas corpus is and being a puppy-killer are just additional "skills" that she possesses.
