He even took the "Birth of the Nation" as a factual documentary-based film.
You're telling me that the movie about the virtuous plunger-men battling the evil bad-makeup-job advocates was fiction?

So in other words, you see the Constitution as something that is stagnant, and static. A dusty document that should never change with the values and reality of society??
Basically - only mechanism of change is an Amendment.
If that is how you view the Constitution, you are mistaken. The Constitution is a document that should be able to be changed without altering its fundamental, basic underlying principles.
Wrong. See above.
And of course, you and I disagree with Lincoln. I believe Lincoln did not violate the Constitution, or, at the most, a couple of minimum violations.
Yes, suspending habeas corpus is a "minimal" violation
The violation wrt suspending habeas corpus was that he didn't get Congressional approval first (which he did eventually get later in his term). Compared to some of the other violations of the Constitution by Lincoln, it could be thought of as minimal.

Believe it or not, there are historians who argue both sides of the issue in regards to Lincoln.
Yep, there's a right side and a wrong side wrt 19th century Constitutional law. Apparantly the people who you've read are on the wrong side.

Nope, and I'm not going to get into the kids' playground screaming fight, "you're wrong! I'm right
Har har har.
Maybe you could point out in the Constitution where it says federal troops have the authority to break strikes. Perhaps you can point out the Constitutional justification for conscription as well. What about railroad subsidies? Et cetera, etc., etc.
