I made no direct mention of Jefferson Davis or Alexander Stephens!
"Bullsh*t. The court says the Constitution's protections apply "AT ALL TIMES AND UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES." Exactly what do you not understand about that, capitan?"
Your particular neo-reb line of "reasoning" is thoroughly refuted. What you don't understand, like your compatriot 4CJ, is that your citation of Milligan DOES NOT APPLY. If what you say is the the proper interpretation, which is is not, then why did the Court a fews years later rule as in Dow? Their language there in unequivocal. And, because it came after Milligan, it must take precedence over Milligan.
Garbage. The Constitution ALWAYS applies. Your tortured rendering of Milligan is the real fault. It is also solid testament to the fact that you cannot so much as quote a simple and straight forward court ruling without completely bastardizing its meaning for the lone purpose of obfuscating its undesired implications upon your Stalinist ideology and your false god.
As always, a heavy doze of needless invective with your posts. You ought to get your gallbladder checked, capitan. I detect a bad case of biliary dyscrasia of the choleric form.
CIVILIZED nations have followed those precepts, in one form or another, for about 400 years. (you could, i suppose, argue the the union armies were NOT from a civilized nation, but that wouldn't go over well with the unionist loonies here, though most of the CSA descendants would HAPPILY agree.)
