LINCOLN’S VIOLATIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION
The Presidential oath of office that Lincoln swore to was "to preserve, protect and defend" the Constitution of the US.
I apologize up front for truthful, accurate, factual posts here that may hurt any Lincoln fan's feelings...
Secession of states was not prohibited by the US Constitution at that time. Therefore it was completely legal...
#1 Lincoln ordered the military blockade of Southern ports.
This an act of war.
Only Congress can do that.
At that time Lincoln certainly violated the US Constitution.
#2 Lincoln ordered hundreds of Northern newspapers who dared to speak out against him to be shut down. And their owners and editors were arrested for disloyalty.
This is a clear violation of the 1st Amendment of the Constitution that Lincoln swore to uphold.
#3 Lincoln ordered the arrest of Ohio Congressman Clement Vallandigham for the crime of speaking out against him.
Can you imagine that?
#4 Ex parte Merryman,
Chief Justice of the US Roger Taney, sitting as a judge of the United States Circuit Court for the District of Maryland, ruled that Lincoln had violated the US Constitution when he illegally suspended the Writ of Habeas Corpus.
After hearing this Lincoln signed an arrest warrant to have the Chief Justice of the US arrested.
#5 US Constitution Article lll...
Section 3. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them.
Lincoln committed treason.
Lincoln waged war upon his own country. Unless one considers secession legal and the Confederacy was a sovereign nation.
#6 Lincoln sent Union troops door to door in areas of Maryland, a Union state, to confiscate weapons.
This is a clear violation of the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution.

Many Constitutional violations against Maryland
'Maryland my Maryland' was published calling Lincoln a tyrant and a despot and a vandal.
Lincoln as already mentioned, trashed the Constitution by suspending the Writ of Habeas Corpus and sending troops door to door confiscating weapons in areas of Maryland.
Maryland was a Union state.
Lincoln ordered the arrest of thousands Marylanders for the crime of 'suspected Southern sympathies'.
Lincoln ordered the arrest of US Congressman Henry May representing Maryland. #7
Lincoln also had arrested...
Most of the Maryland State Legislature #8
Most of the Baltimore city council #9
The police commissioner of Baltimore #10
The mayor of Baltimore #11
Thousands of prominent Maryland citizens. #12
These people were arrested and held in Military prisons, without trial, some of them for years.
This trashing of the Constitution upset many Marylanders. One of them was named Booth.
Committing so many crimes against Maryland would end up giving Lincoln a big "headache".
SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS
April 25 1861, When it looks as though Maryland may secede from the Union, Lincoln sends a letter to General Winfield Scott giving him permission to bombard Maryland's Cities.
This war criminal Lincoln couldn't wait to bombard innocent civilians. We call that Terrorism these days.
#13 Lincoln issues the Emancipation Proclamation.
This is a direct violation of the US Constitution and the US Supreme Courts decision on the matter.
#14 The Lincoln administration allowed the taking of private property for public use without just compensation or due process of law.
This is a clear violation of the 5th Amendment.
A prime example is the Union army stealing Robert E Lees home, Arlington House, which they used as Headquarters.
Since dead Union soldiers were stacking up like cordwood, they started burying them in Lee's yard. There were so many Union soldiers graves here, this was to become Arlington National Cemetery.
#15 The Lincoln Administration routinely used water torture against the thousands of Union prisoners arrested and jailed without trail.
This violates the 8th Amendment,
"Cruel and unusual punishment".
#16 Lincoln was Commander-in-Chief of an Army whose invasion of the South resulted in the deaths of 50,000 Southern civilians.
