at his discretion, an officer is authorized at his discretion to suspend the writ of habeas corpus, and suspends it in this case and on that ground refuses obedience of the writ. can you imagine -- can you imagine judicial authority being so flaunted in today's society? i cannot begin to imagine that. but we cannot imagine what the civil war presented to us. 600,000 americans died in the civil war at a time that we were a nation of 30 million people. one in 50 died. if you go to the post office that we were talking about earlier, there sis a memorial fr those who gave their lives in armed conflict. if you added up all of those who died in the korean conflict and in the first and second world wars and in vietnam, they do not equal half of those who died in the civil war from that same little town in upstate new york. and the general sacrifice, the degree to which the pain of this nation permeated even rural communities in upstate new york was very, very deep. and the society in the north was not uniform. there were riots in new york. there was a great deal of resistance on and a lot

and brought a writ of habeas corpus, which the judge refused who is the custodian of mr. merriman and informed the judge that it was not necessarily just the president but he was the one himself delegated with presidential authority to suspend the writ if he saw so fit. there's just one paragraph i want to read you because i could just see canney writing this. the case then is simply this, military officer residing in pennsylvania issues an order to arrest a citizen in maryland upon vague and indefinite charges without any proof. under this order his house is entered in the night, about 2:00, 3:00 in the morning, he is seized as a prisoner and conveyed to fort mchenry. and they're kept in close and when habeas corpus, requiring him before justice of the supreme court an order he may examine into the illegality of the imprisonment, the answer of the officer is he is authorized by the president to suspend the writ of habeas corpus at his cession. an officer is authorized at his discretion and in the exercise of that discretion suspended in this case and on that ground refus

and roger taney took exception to that, and brought a writ of habeas corpus, which general cadwaller refused to honored. this enraged taney and there's just one paragraph i want to read to you. the case then is simply this, a military officer residing in pennsylvania issues an order to arrest a citizen in maryland, upon vague and indefinite charges without any proof as far as appears. under this order, his house is entered in the night about 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning. he's seized as a prisoner and conveyed to ft. mchenry. and when habeas corpus is served on the commanding officer, in order that he may examine into the legality of the imprice opment, the answer of the officer is he's authorized by the president to suspend the writ of habeas corpus at his discretion. and in the exercise of that discretion, suspends it in this case and on that ground, refuses obedience of the writ. can you imagine judicial authority being so flaunted in today's society? i cannot begin to imagine that. but we cannot imagine what the civil war presented. 600,000 americans died in the civil war at a time

in addition, the habeas corpus clause. he forced it through parliament and then forced -- to put a lot of pressure on charles and forced into excepted. winston churchill calls the petition of right the main foundation of english, the charter of every self respecting man at any time in any land. now, for much of the time that cook struggling with to kang's to preserve english liberty, at his side was a young man taking notes. they grew so close that he referred to him as his son. the boy was roger williams. williams did not read or study it cook. he had been beside them, gun with him to the star chamber, the privy council, parliament, direct confrontations with the king in person, to gangs, and his views on liberty ran in his veins. he believe in liberty. by the time of the petition of rights, 1628, williams is no longer a boy. he finished cambridge, a brilliant career as a scholar, and he was a young minister. within days of agreeing to the petition of right charles began violating it. one of the key issues was he was coll

. >> flight training at pensacola and corpus christi. many earned their wings here.ohn went to corpus christi to learn about airplanes and time for physical conditioning and sports and for religious inspiration. like these naval aviators, to win his wings. the navy's thorough training prepared lieutenant john glenn for war time action in the south pacific. flying 59 missions like these, he joined in blasting enemy targets. until there was peace and glenn returned to corpus christi as advanced flying instructor until korea. major john glenn came back to combat to fly 90 missions and shoot down three miigs. following korea, john glenn came home to flight test the super sonic crusader to flash across the nation, california to new york, setting a super sonic speed record of three hours and 23 minutes. with experimental thrusts toward speed and altitude. the limitations of time and distance were being brushed aside as experimental planes like the x-15 launched from the air force mothership rocketed to record-breaking altitudes. unmanned orbits pressed on until it was time

reasoning behind imprisonment of newspaper editors during the civil war and suspension of habeas corpus. this was co-hosted by historical society of the courts of the state of new york and new york state archives' partnership trust. it's an hour and a half. >> i've never spoken to a crowd of so many attorneys in my entire life. there are several that i want to acknowledge. my daughter, meg, who is an attorney is here today. inspector state general ellen biben is here today. my old friend judge gene nardelli is here. we could go on forever. it's wonderful to see all of you. one other person i want to mention because the subject for this weekend is freedom of the press, as you know. someone in this room who is actually a living hero of the fight for freedom of the press. formally of "the new york times." i just want to introduce -- i know you all know her and the case, judith miller. i want to start with the end of the war, not the beginning with lincoln's second inaugural address. speech was only nine minutes long but i would venture to say that it ended so memorably that even after that

they included things like the rights of habeas corpus.should be -- unfortunately wub within of the principles according to king john's view of it would result in his being excommunicated. because the king of england then was really subordinate to the pope. the pope said this isn't a very good principle. because the principle said 25 noblemen could come together and overrule what the king wanted. and if that were the case, maybe sometime somebody could overrule what the pope wanted. the pope said, i don't like that. the king said, i don't want to be excommunicated. so several weeks after he actually attached his seal to it, he abrogated it. that resulted in a war. he died in the war. his 9-year-old son became the next king. the regents came up with a new version of this one. that kept the peace for a while. when that king, king henry died, his son, king edward game the king. he in a similar situation, his grandfather needed some money to fight wars in france. he sought from noblemen some more money. they asked him to agree to a new magna c

corpus christi close. i think it is 1,000 feet. there could be another school in the future because ofç facilits there. is that correct? >> i did see an article that mentions they are planning to close, but i cannot confirm that. it is in the vicinity map that çwas provided, but there are no non schools, private or public sector within 1,000 feet radius of the location. >> as far as i know, a corpus christi is closed, so i want to make sure it is taken into consideration. since it is out of 1,000 feet, it is not going to be a factor in the way. >> it is interesting because medical marijuana dispensaries are not a conditional use, so they do not have to meet the desirable threshold. because of our local laws, there are few places where you can cite itsç, so the threshold is unfortunate. unfortunately, everywhere you want to cite one, we get the same concerns, which is not exceptional or extraordinary. i know it is difficult because people have a lot of fear about medical marijuana contributing to the neighborhood around them. i h

now, for the first time he is using habeas corpus against the king to make sure whoever is consistent with the law regarding the idea that the king is able fathead to overturn the law we did maintains magma card. the view was summed up and this is a ruling that everybody in this room and an american knows the house of everyman the castle. this idea almost a castle was not just some rhetorical, people fought it as a concrete physical massive torturous there is saying the great lords have no more rights than in england had the same rights and liberties. their home is their castle. coke not surprisingly james dismissed cook from the bench. [laughter] cook continued his fight in parliament and when the king was pursuing limits on the parliament's right and he gets up on the floor and says when the king says he cannot allow our liberties the streaks of the root we surf for thousands and tens of thousands then he wrote what he called the station expressing parliamentary privileges and rights, and it declared that the liberties, franchisees and jurisdiction of parliament are the ancient birt

king john agreed, finding himself writing the magna carta, including trial by jury, habeus corpus, and no taxation without representation. the 1215 version is still in wales, and that book applied its rights to all english freemen. the charting was later cited leading up to the american revolution. in 2007, co-founder of the philanthropist, david rubinstein, purchased for $148 one of only 47 original magna cartas and the only copy in the united states. in 1929, rubinstein loaned it to the american people. it was put on display in 1911 to be put in a new protective case. american history tv attended a press hearing for the newly unveiled magna carta. >> i'm david barry of the archivist of the united states and it's nice to welcome you to one of the archivists. for many a year, the only copy of the magna carta has been out of sight, undergoing conservation treatment. we're showing you the result of our staff's expert pain staking work displayed in a new encasement designed and fabricated by the national institute's standards and technology. the 700-year-old document looks better than eve

flying 59 in corpses like these he blasted enemy targets, until there was peace and glenn returned to corpuss advanced flying instructor, until -- korea. major john glenn came back to combat to fly 90 missions, to shoot down three migs. following korea, john glenn came home to flight test the super sonic crusader to flash across the nation, california to new york, setting a super sonic speed record of 3 hours and 23 minutes. with experimental thrusts toward speed and altitude. the limitations of time and distance were being brushed aside as experimental planes like the x-15 launched from its air force mother ship rocketed record-breaking altitudes and speeds. unmanned orbits pressed on until it was time for man to orbit. until the word was "go." answered the president's call, these astronauts dedicated themselves to study, training and physical conditioning. with alan shepard about weightlessness and gus grissom with the space gravity and wally schirra.spacecraft co. three years of engineering skill and scientific experimentation have gone into this historic atlas launching. it was devised b

there is no habeas corpus and there are thousands of troops in the south. he said i can assure you fellow citizens and he wrote this to a newspaper, i, for one, do not want anymore war. i don't want to see anymore bloodshed nor do i want to see anyone armed to shoot down white men. if there is a war upon us, i will tell you, that i shall not shoot any blacks unless i see a white radical. if they send the black men to hunt the ku klux, shoot the radicals. so he was absolutely defined, turned out that was trying to work with northern to create a business, he was poor but to southerners he galvanized what would have been another white supremist group that wouldn't have had much success, there was something about the ku klux klan that appealed to the south and this man and this man alone had the history and the energy and the anger and the venom to make it into something that would playing american life for the next century because the secret of the ku klux klan wasn't that it was racist, there were a lot of other racist organizations, and it wasn't that it was

and during the period of reconstruction in 1866 and 1867 there was a suspension of habeas corpus. and no one defined this better than forrest. the man who almost single handedly on a horse kept the southern cause alive. look what he said. this is in 1867 with a foundation of the ku klux klan. they would have been like any other failed white group. the order of the white camellia. there is a bunch of southern groups trying to recapture southern pride through racial solidarity and resentment at freed blacks. they were all pretty much a failure. but one of them the ku klux, this clan people rumored they offered it to robert e. lee and lee said ask forrest. but there was one man that everybody thought embodied the bitterness and the grievances of the southern poor. these were poor white people who created this myth that they couldn't survive with these uppity blacks and scalley wags who had kept them down. this white supremacist group was different than the other ones. it didn't have the aristocracy or the plantation it had this new image that people were ghosts and they were calvary

he sort of issued a half hearted ruling saying the suspension of the right of habeas corpus was in part unconstitutional and general dicks is subject to indictment. if a general can close down a civilian newspaper, then a civilian court can indict. but they didn't indict the general. nothing really happened. the world case remains something of a mystery, but it was one case in which lincoln himself is known to have signed that document that indicate head believed the line had been crossed separating press freedom from criminality and treason. now i realize i've offered an avalanche of evidence here. i don't want to convict abraham lincoln, especially to this distinguished audience of judges. so let me suggest here that in my own view, lincoln deserves to be judged not only by what happened, but what didn't happen next. just weeks after the world's case, he was renominated for second term as president. a lot of people thought that was itself an abrogation of power. no president since andrew jackson had sought or succeeded a second term. many people concluded that it was lincoln grabbing

the story for tonight although clearly lincoln's use of the war power to suspend the writ of habeas corpus is relevant. while the provision was made for a dangerous emergency, that is the part of the constitution that says it may be suspended, it cannot believe that the framers intended that the danger should run its course until congress could be called together the very assembling of which might be prevented by the rebellion itself. a specific topic for tonight, of course, is the less ambiguous guarantee in the first amendment. congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech or of the press. again, lincoln determined that in a case of rebellion, especially while congress was in recess, contingency trumped even the bill of rights. now, he did call congress back into session, but not for four months. and not before the executive branch did a bridge freedom of the press and the sum of maintained without constitutional authority. let's look frankly at the record. and in preparing for this talk and in preparing for a book i'm doing on lincoln in the press, i must say i've been stag

undercover of liberty of speech, liberty of the press and habeus corpus they hoped to keep on foot among us a most efficient corps of spies, informers, suppliers, aiders and abetters of their cause in 1,000 ways. to lincoln, these disloyal editors were akin to spies and informers. in re-rebuttal, it was called a monstrous hairsy, subversive of liberty and law, and quite intending to the establishment of des pottism. lincoln replied "no further." but a few days later when the chicago times, a democratic paper, also rebuked general burnside over the landingham case, the general surprised nearly everybody by ordering troops in chicago to shut down the shot times and imprison its gun-toting editor wilbur story, who was happy to be arrested because it was good publicity, for the repeated expression of disloyalty and incendiary statements. now, this act of suppression lincoln may have privately relished. the chicago times had been playing him for years -- flaying him for years. and publicly, however, he became convinced that "we should revoke or suspend the order" especially once protesters fr
