[669 WhiskeyPapa] Knocking over a bank has always pretty much been known to be illegal. Defying the lawful order of a circuit court judge has always pretty much been known to be illegal.

As I have said at least twice now, there was a different perception then. You are making a modern day judgment on an historical person.

Does that mean the southern states and the effected merchants were free to disregard the Prize Cases ruling as well, since they were entitled to their own "interpretation" of the Constitution? Just curious.
