Ah, but don't you see the technicality there that let ole Abe slip by? The act of Congress may say that habeas corpus was still in effect where "the administration of the laws has continued unimpaired" but it doesn't say that those "impairing" them in other states had to be confederates. Lincoln used federal troops to impair the adminstration of the laws in the states of Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, ando others at times when all were still in the union so technically speaking I guess he could arrest people there without stating the charges!
See how it works in Wlatdom? Rule #1 states that "Lincoln is never wrong."
Wlatdom...LOL...I don't know what's funnier, that, or the fact some of them got excited thinking they have a new defense for "his holiness" after reading your post.
