You may have missed that part where the SUPREME COURT gets to have the final say. You know that CO-EQUAL branch of government.
The Supreme Court said Lincoln couldn’t do it.
Lincoln ignored their ruling, that is a violation of the constitution.

You entirely missed Article 1 Section 9. There the president has the power to act unilaterally in such extreme times. He doesn't need to consult the Supreme court to take the actions granted him under this article. And notice also it say's ''may require it.

The Supreme Court said Lincoln couldnt do it. The Supreme Court did not. Only Chief Justice Taney issuing his ruling from the Circuit Court bench said Lincoln could not. The entire court never took the matter up.
