“Didn’t President Lincoln, practically the father of the GOP, suspend habaes corpus for a time during the Civil War?”

Lincoln also had a bunch of state legislators arrested in Maryland so they couldn’t vote on something. He did a lot of things not in line with the Constitution. Doesn’t make it right just because history smiles on him.
