"Judge Dunlop, who authored the ruling against Lincoln."

Judge Dunlop did not have jurisdiction. Habeas had been suspended.

"You have provided absolutely no evidence that Congress passed any such act prior to 1863..."

The Habeas Corpus Act of 1863 retrospecively ratified the President's actions. It did not say that they were illegal. The Congress and the Executive agreed that the President's actions were necessary. That leaves a few judges on the outside, looking in.

False affirmation of the consequent. Try again.

The Habeas Corpus Act of 1863 retrospecively ratified the President's actions.

...and that act was not in effect as of October 30, 1861 - the approximate time of the Murphy case. Try again.

Pure Brigade horse blather.

The INDEMNITY ACT OF 1863 provided INDEMNITY from criminal prosecution. One does not obtain INDEMNITY from criminal prosecution for a lawful act.

The Act did not retrospective ratify acts by the Constitutional rapist known as the Great Usurper Abraham Lincoln.
