I accept their ruling in 69 as valid, because I can do little else. My point is the REASON behind the ruling. In all the other rulings, the SCOTUS found lincoln at fault. Yes? If the same court found his actions DURING the war at fault, logically one could assume that over time they would find that his actions in starting the war would be at fault. However, to do that, detractors of the court would start pointing fingers at others within the administration for possible criminal charges. Namely, one Chief Justice Chase.

I don't agree that there is a logical conclusion between one and the other, especially since Lincoln was faced with a rebellion he did not start.

What crime was Lincoln charged with?
