How much of that would have withstood the scrutiny of a supreme court? Not a lot.

Where is tu quoque boss when you need him? But I digress.

Ask Lambden Milligan that question. Actions of the Lincoln administration were taken up by the court as a whole throughout the war. Sometimes the court ruled in favor of the administration, sometimes it did not. But parties did have the opportunity to pursue their matter through the courts, something denied those in the south. Lambden Milligan died a natural death. A Bubba Milligan in Mississippi would have hanged.
