Lincoln's purported power to authorize military officers to suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus was never upheld by the Supreme Court.

The invokation to the contrary is lacking any quote of the Supreme Court doing any such thing.

Since when does the Supreme Court have to "okay" every action of another branch of government?
