We both know Lincoln didn't wait for his presidency to begin before issuing military orders.
We both know that you all make that claim. But since Lincoln lacked the authority to issue any orders to the military until March then that claim is pretty much a figment of your vivid imagination.
lincoln, the TYRANT & WAR CRIMINAL, also didn't have the authority to suspend the RIGHTS enumerated/guaranteed under the Constitution either. BUT that didn't stop him from issuing those IMMORAL & UNLAWFUL orders.
nice try, NS, but NO cigar.
