[QUOTE="Stiltsville, post: 1919523, member: 114352"] About Lincoln as some seem to have not studied the Civil War in depth Lincoln assumed dictatorial powers during the war. His Sec of War Stanton was Lincoln's Barr. Habeas corpus was suspended, meaning the government could lock up anyone for as long as they wanted. With the Army, Stanton and the Union congress, Lincoln could have kept those powers as long as he wished. Fast forward to 1917. Wison essentially did the same. Locking up and deporting 1000s who disagreed with his policies. FF to 1941, FDR also had huge power to arrest and lock up anyone who crossed his regime. The camps are still there out West. Hit the button again to 2020. Trump declares the ANTIA and their left wing backers a national security threat. He suspends Habeas corpus and starts locking them up. He would have the military, police and at least 100,000,000 armed Americans in his corner. Nobody could stop him. Oh yeah "the courts will." You know who Thrump's favorite President is ? Know what he told SCOTUS told him he could not deport the indians to OK ? I'm so old that when I went to school, history was actually taught. [/QUOTE]
