But the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Confiscation Acts passed in 1861 and 1862 which allowed for the seizure private property of those supporting the rebellion.

Maybe the justices were afraid of being jailed by king Lincoln. SCOTUS also legalized abortion, sodomy, separtism, slavery, lawful siezure of private property for private use, and myiad other insane opinions - they are not gods.

Even so, the acts plainly are unconstitutional (violation of Amendment IV, V, VI, VII and VIII), and the court did rule post bellum 9-0 that the Constitution cannot be suspended.

But bootlicker's could care less about rights and constitutional protections - all they worry about is that they get a pat on the head, and maybe a chance to kiss the arse of their master, and that those evil Southern women and children were slaughtered, their homes destroyed.

I'll stand up with my ancestors and the founding fathers against tyranny, and I'd do so for anyone - what's right cannot be made wrong by the words of a tyrant. Samuel Adams said it best:

'If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were out countrymen.'

That's the best you can come up with, huh? You may have change your screen name but you haven't changed your argument.

Even so, the acts plainly are unconstitutional (violation of Amendment IV, V, VI, VII and VIII)...

Because you say so? Well why have a court at all? We can just ask you.

....and the court did rule post bellum 9-0 that the Constitution cannot be suspended.

When?

Now there is the delusional 4ConservativeJustices we all came to know and love? We missed you!
