[Non-Sequitur]

Almost everything Lincoln did was illegal because you say it is? You will have to do better than that. Southern actions of secession were illegal because we have court decisions that say they were. You will just have to suck it up and live with it.

No not because I say it is. Because the SCOTUS said it was. Suspension of habeas corpus, suspension of the First Amendment, military tribunals, all crimes that can be traced to lincoln, were found to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court
