an miller, no one detests lincoln here more than me, except perhaps you...
but, in fairness, please cite the source that claims to have heard lincoln state that it is ok that fort sumter surrendered and that it served its purpose...or were you actually there, when the great usurper uttered those wicked words? and, if you were there, then why didnt you shoot him when you had chance...thereby, saving us from all of the death, destruction and misery that followed...
and as to the constitutionality of raising troops to put down rebellion, that power is somewhere in the articles, as i recall...and certainly in the president's oath of office...
ever hear of the whiskey rebellion...
