"On this first question, therefore, we are of the opinion that the President had a right, jure belli, to institute a blockade of ports in possession of the States in rebellion which neutrals are bound to regard."

Read it again Walt. "On this first question, therefore, we are of the opinion that the President had a right, jure belli, to institute a blockade of ports in possession of the States in rebellion which neutrals are bound to regard."

International Law, as documented by Hugo Grotius' De Jure Belli ac Pacis (On the Law of War and Peace) published in 1625.

In fact, the record proves exactly what I say.

That has nothing to do with U.S. law. It's pitful to suggest that it does.
