Reply to comment by ChevExpressMan in TIL: During the US Civil War, a father issued a writ of habeus corpus to get his underaged Son out of the US Army, when the writ was delivered to the camp, the provost had both the lawyer who had delivered the writ, and the Judge who had issued the writ arrested and imprisoned. by hoosyourdaddyo

He..sortof had to..and this also isnt unusual. In fact jefferson...the man behind the bill of rights...tried to have his politocall enemies arrested when he was president. Constitutional rights tend to go poof during all wars especially large ones. Youll notice dissent flat put isnt tolerated.
