Too bad he didn't practice what he preached. Lincoln suspended the writ of habeas corpus and imprisoned those who dissented against his policies. Sounds an awful lot like the idiot who is presently in the White House. The Constitution is a scam on the people as it was conceived by oligarchs to protect the oligarchs. I was out of the country when those sneaky bastards, Monroe, Madison and the true bastard child of John Michael Levine and Rachel Faucett,a mulatto, Hamilton conjured up this piece of garbage to deceive the people. The Articles of Confederation should be restored as the supreme law of the land.
