[Non-Sequitur]

DiLorenzo calls Lincoln a dictator yet Lincoln never did a way with an entire branch of government the way Davis did. The confederate constitution clearly requires a supreme court yet Davis never appointed one, never nominated a single justice, never referred a single matter for judicial review. But that should not be a surprise, since Davis once said that the only test of the constitutionality of a law is if it did what it was intended to do.

I don't agree with the "other guys are doing it" argument. Davis and the CSA government had its faults, no doubt, but that is no excuse for Lincoln to disregard habeus corpus and the US Constitution. The questions are about Lincoln and his government, not Davis and the CSA.
