From me:
Quote:

The "Great" presidents, like Roosevelt and Lincoln openly violated the constitution. Lincoln basically suspended the entire thing and ruled the Union as a dictator in wartime, thankfully he restored it after the war was over.

Mr Meph:[qote]Lincoln, without a doubt, stands head and shoulders above all others in my mind. Without his dogged determination and leadership the United States may have ceased to exist as we know it today. He had his faults, but they were minor to what he achieved; the preservation of the Union and the Emancipation of the Slaves.

Neither of us specifically cite Habeas Corpus but we both allude to it in a manner that is obvious to anyone who is even remotely well read in American Civil War History.
So, we are on record to this.
