Not changing the subject Mr. Boz. My point was covering a broad range of the powers that Lincoln used early in the war, not just one case. Is a blockade of ports, recogintion of a soverign state? The point about Congress having the power to declare war, while the president can raise troops to put down a rebellion. The suspension of Habeus Corpus. The use of military trials in a state not under military occupation. All of these are covered in that ruling. Perhaps one day, you can check it out.
