Hummmm, when I use the "no standing legal authority" argument, against the claim that the secession of the Southern States was illegal, I am told that it doesn't hold water. Except that the Supreme Court did rule that the Southern secession was illegal. They're a standing legal authority, aren't they?

and you agree with "Dredd Scott", "Plessy v. Ferguson" & "Roe v. Wade"???
those too are decisions of the USSC. IF you DO agree that those decisions of the court are correct, you are NO conservative for sure.

Yes, and just like with habeas corpus, after the fact.
You said;However there was no precedent in place when Lincoln was forced to suspend habeas corpus...
Both occurrences are, after the fact.
