Lincoln TOTALLY DISREGARDED the Constitution of the United States and all you can say is "All the more power to Lincoln".

Oh ho. What Supreme Court case did President Lincol disregard? Don't say "Merryman", that's not a Supreme Court case.

Don't say "Milligan". That case was after the war.

Most historians agree that President Lincoln bent but did not break the Constitution. Blather all you like.

Of course, you cannot bend something that is inflexible (without breaking it, your rediculous symantics aside).
