Think about it. Lincoln was authorized, by the Founding Fathers' Militia Act of 1792, to kill rebels, but not, according to you, to arrest them.

It is your contention, then, that Lincoln was authorized under the Militia act to kill newspaper editors and congressmen?

The President did not kill any newspaper editors or congressmen.

If one day there is an Islamic insurgency in this country, I'm sure that one day you'll be defending the right of newspaper editors to openly support the insurgents, call for the overthrow of the government, and the replacement of the Constitution by Sharia law.

"Using partisan crybabies...."

You haved unmasked yourself as a Democrat provocateur on Free Republic, as I suspect GOPcapitalist and other kooks are too. Back to DU with you -- Hope your paycheck doesn't bounce.
