You are assuming that the arrests themselves were wrong, but they may not have been.

Tis no matter of assumption. Even the most partisan Lincoln sycophant will acknowledge that at least some of his arrests were unjustified.

There may have been justification for many of them.

Then that is your burden to prove, not mine.

Now, I didn't say all could be justified now did I?

Even Lincoln would admit some of the arrests were unjustified, but he never denied the need to do so.

I feel no burden to prove anything.

The right to suspend the Writ is in the Constitution.
