followed by Franklin Delano Roosevelt at 90.83 and George Washington at 90.32

Ranking Roosevelt above Washington is clearly ridiculous.

Makes sense. To left wing professors, Trump would be the worst president in history.

Joe Biden is the fifth greatest president!

Washington, Lincoln, Reagan and Trump are tied for #1
Thirty-nine presidents are tied for #2
Carter is #3
Obama is #4
Biden is #5

What war did he start? What was the military action that started the war? I was unaware Lincoln attacked Fort Sumter.

The habeas corpus clause of Article I Section IX does not forbid “unilateral” suspension. That was done in response to Fort Sumter.

The act of shutting down opposition newspapers could be insinuated to be unconstitutional if you ignore the suspension of habeas corpus, but acting in aid and comfort to the enemy is an act of war in and of itself, both treasonable crimes per Article III Section III. Perhaps if such things were done during the Vietnam War, the mindset of Americans would have been different?

Please stop falling for the left’s tricks.

Meanwhile, Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia.

Lemme guess...the previous worst president was Dubya, and before that, Reagan, according to this bunch.

He started a war of aggression to prevent Southern Independence. He sent a fleet of heavily armed warships to invade South Carolina's territory. An aggressor is one who invades the territory of another - not one who fires to drive an invader away.

The habeas corpus clause of Article I Section IX does not forbid “unilateral” suspension. That was done in response to Fort Sumter.

Yes it does. Habeas Corpus can only be suspended by Congress - and then only when the courts are not functioning.

The act of shutting down opposition newspapers could be insinuated to be unconstitutional if you ignore the suspension of habeas corpus, but acting in aid and comfort to the enemy is an act of war in and of itself, both treasonable crimes per Article III Section III. Perhaps if such things were done during the Vietnam War, the mindset of Americans would have been different?

The US Congress never declared war. Political opposition is not treason.

Please stop falling for the left’s tricks.

Please educate yourself better about the Constitution and History.

O’Brien: Look me in the eyes. What country is Oceania at war with?

Winston Smith: I don’t remember.

O’Brien: Oceania is at war with Eastasia. Do you remember that now?

Winston Smith: Yes.

O’Brien: Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia. Since the beginning of your life, since the beginning of the Party, since the beginning of history, the war has continued without a break; always the same war. Do you remember that?

Winston Smith: Yes. …

— 1984, pp. 168-169
Winston was listening to the telescreen. At present only music was coming out of it, but there was a possibility that at any moment there might be a special bulletin from the Ministry of Peace. The news from the African front was disquieting in the extreme. On and off he had been worrying about it all day. A Eurasian army (Oceania was at war with Eurasia: Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia) was moving southward at terrifying speed. The midday bulletin had not mentioned any definite area, but it was probable that already the mouth of the Congo was a battlefield. Brazzaville and Leopoldville were in danger. One did not have to look at the map to see what it meant. It was not merely a question of losing Central Africa: for the first time in the whole war, the territory of Oceania itself was menaced. …

That’s the kind of people the Uniparty wants.

To a congregant in the First Church of Leftism, the joining of “Political” and “Scientist” into one Super-Being is hard to top.

The Constitution’s Suspension Clause (the only place where habeas corpus is mentioned that I can see, and as a privilege rather than a right) does not specify that habeas corpus can only be suspended by Congress.

Not to mention, Lincoln did indeed get Congressional approval in response to Fort Sumter, in special session. And the blockade of ports was not the first act of aggression in the war; not to mention there was the viewpoint that it was all still United States territory and not that of a foreign power.

You seem to also have forgotten that the 1807 Insurrection Act was also very much in force, as it is today; Trump invoked it in response to the riots that used George Floyd as their excuse.

Again, I cited the attack on Fort Sumter. You ignored it completely. Please be more focused and less emotional.
