You don't read very well, do you? The Taney Court upheld Lincoln's exercise of war powers in the Prize Cases (1863).

Oh I read just fine, capitan, and considering that your comments came in the middle of a discussion about habeas corpus in which you specifically made your comment,

You are a broken record. Lincoln acted in a crisis and his warpowers were upheld by the Supreme Court.

...in response to my comment, which you also directly quoted...

Affirmation of the consequent. Habeas Corpus had to be constitutionally suspended in the first place and Lincoln never established that it had been"
...that is the context that I read it in. Did you intend for there to be any other? Or, being the habitual filthy liar that you are, did you simply intend to divert attention onto another subject so as to obfuscate the fact that you cannot sustain your illogical and irrational position on habeas corpus.
