    No, the courts absolutely couldn’t save you, that’s exactly what suspension of habeas corpus means - habeas corpus means that if you’re imprisoned, it can be challenged in the courts by you or someone else. If you lose habeas corpus, no one can challenge anyone’s imprisonment legally. It removes the right to trial. Your right to a trial if you’re imprisoned is called habeas corpus.
