This ass. professor proclaims In searching for historical parallels to the current situation, many in the press have pointed to some of FDR's decisions during World War II, the Wilson administration's odious embrace of rights-curbing laws during World War I, and Abraham Lincoln's well-known (and unconstitutional) actions to suppress dissent in the North during the Civil War. However, all of these examples seem to miss a fairly important point. In all of the above cases the nation was clearly at war Lincoln never declared it a war, but called it a rebellion. Lincoln closed newspapers and jailed their editors, imprisoned thousands including a Congressman Vallandigham as habeas corpus was suspended for years. Bush has a long way to go here.
