Remember? I never heard of him but Dick Army did something similar in the dead of night with laws to be signed in the morning.

Lincoln did not order Congress closed but technically he went ahead and acted without Congress before they assembled and of course without the Confederate members. He also acted in contradiction of Supreme court rulings. When half the country is shooting the other half it was special circumstances. The Habeas Corpus thing is only part of Lincoln's departure from normal proceedings.

Keep me honest gillymor.
I have a tendency to abbreviate things into nonsense and then not proof read. But when you can't totally trust your own reading , you don't see the turd in the punchbowl.
