Petitioner asserts that he is prohibited from bringing Jurisdictional challenges in © the District he is being held in, under 28 U.S.C § 2255(e); this Jurisdictional challenge restriction is so limited, that Writ oh: Jurisdictional: claims. Petitioner further asserts that the denial of review on Jurisdictional claims under 2255(e), is an unconstitutional suspension of the writ of habeas corpus. : § 2255(a) A prisoner in custody under sentence of a court established by Act of Congress claiming the right to be released upon the ground that the sentence was imposed in violation of the Constitution or laws of the United States, or that the Court-was without Jurisdiction to impose such sentence, or that the Sentence was in excess of the maximum authorized by law, or is otherwise subject to Collateral attack, may move the Court which imposed the ovuu: sentence to vacate, set aside or correct the sentence. . § 2255(e) An application for a:writ of Habeas Corpus in behalf of a prisoner who is author+.;" ized to apply for relief by motion pursuant to this section, shall not be entertained if it appears that the applicant has failed to apply for rekief, by motion, to the Court which sentenced him, or that such Court has denied him relief, unless it also appears that the remedy by motion is inadequate or ineffective to test the legality of his detention. § 2255(a) allows Jurisdictional challenges and § 2255(e) removed those Jurisdictional challenges! The Suspension Clause provides that 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.

See Boumediene, 553 U.S. at Footnote 19, "The priviledge of Habeas Corpus entitles the priséner to a meaningful oppurtunity to demonstrate that he is being held pursuant to the erroneous application or interpretation of relevant law.
