New Declaration of War
Even with a declaration of war, most rights still shouldn't be able to be suspended - remember one of the reasons for the original war of independance from England was their taking over quarters and using private property to house their army.

There's provision for "in a manner prescribed by law" in many of the amendments, such as housing soldiers, but (for instance) much of the suppression Abraham Lincoln did was arguably blatently illegal and enormously expanded the powers of the Federal government far beyond even the most "strong government" proponent would have believed.
Famous last RPG quotes: "I'll just shoot this fireball down the dungeon passageway..."
New WDY(both)HASM!?!
Oh, and the "in a manner prescribed by law" could be construed to mean that such alterations would have to be processed through the usual channels. You know, start in Congress/Senate, signed into law by President, judged Constitutional or not by the USSC.

But that's only my interpretation of it.



PS:
I fully support Big Brother's indefinate detainment without legal recourse for all enemies of the State.

I (heart) the Stazi!
New You FUEL! How COULD you be so Pollyannaish?!?
