"What trial was held per the Constitution? Where does the Constitution limit compensation only to Lincoln worshippers? I repeat, just exactly HOW did Lincoln abide by the Constitution?"

You don't get it. Insurrectionists and traitors to the Constitution don't get to claim any of its protections.

You lose your slaves - so what?
You support the insurrectionist war effort and your crops get burned - too bad.
You ship contraband and your vessel is seized without compensation - tough break.

It's the price you pay for being on the wrong side.

Twaddle. Anyone accused of a crime is entitled to all the protections of the Constitution. Persons accused of treason are afforded a further special protection, which we've discussed and which you are now ignoring, in order to post twaddle and BS that makes you feel good.

See what I mean?

You've no right to complain about being labeled and hosed over stuff like this.

[capitan_refugio] traitors to the Constitution don't get to claim any of its protections.

U.S. Const., Art 3, Sec 3: "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court."

Teleology and appeal to force. You ain't gonna get much help when those Mes'kins come for you, amigo.

That's a new fallacy, by the way, one I made up myself, just for you: "appeal to John Brown's body".

Your malice helps make the case against your side. Keep doing that.

Mmmmmm NO. The Supreme Court ruled otherwise in ex parte Milligan 9-0. Only if the Confederacy was a foreign nation - an independent sovereign, would all those constitutional rights be inapplicable.
