Indeed, considering the laws Lincoln suspended. Difference here is that it is a marxist dictator who is not interested in preserving the Union, but destroying it. So, Congress and laws are “in the way”.

True, but still no excuse. There is no "Noble Cause" clause in the Constitution and I'd wager the Founding Fathers probably considered and rejected something like it...

“There is no “Noble Cause” clause in the Constitution...”

The Constitution provides for the suspension of Habeas Corpus in Article I, section 9. Congress, not the president certainly has this right and Congress subsequently, legally suspended it once the constitutionality question was raised.
