LMAO! He was a member of the Lincoln administration. As Chief Justice he held his own actions as Treasury Secretary to be just fine and dandy. *slight* conflict of interest there. Even you can’t believe the BS you’re trying to peddle here.

So in other words, other than your opinion you've got nothing? As I suspected.

Obviously I’ve read his laughable opinion

I haven't seen much evidence that you have.

Obviously the Lincoln administration wasn’t concerned with legality either since it acted in unconstitutional fashion numerous times

For example?

They did not.

They did indeed.

The treaty making power. Yes. So what?

Breezed right by the "laws made under it" part I see.

Not all. For example among the many others, they reserved the right to secede.

No they didn't.

I’ve got the facts. You on the other hand have nothing but the opinion of an obviously biased and self interested politician.

I’ve presented quite enough to show you to be wrong.


For example?

starting a war without the consent of congress, suspending Habeas Corpus when the civilian courts were functioning, creating a state out of the territory of a state without the state legislature’s consent, censoring newspapers, throwing well over 10,000 citizens in prison without charge or trial or at most trial in front of military kangaroo courts, trying to banish a sitting US Senator, the list goes on and on


They did indeed

Nope


Breezed right by the “laws made under it” part I see.

Breezed right by the part about them only having the power to make laws in those areas delegated by the states I see.


No they didn’t.

Yes they did.
