[4CJ]

Those who are in armed insurrection and rebellion, who have organized a government (of sorts) in opposition to the constitutional government of the country, have no claim to protection or rights afforded to them under that document. They were the equivalent to enemy aliens, and were covered under the laws of war as they were then known and understood.

A later decision, unanimously decided by the Supreme Court, holds that your argument is so much bovine scatology.
