This case is 1 year after the Civil War, so I wonder if it was meant to address Pres. Lincoln's suspension of habeas corpus and other Constitutional rights during the Civil War? At the time of this ruling, Lincoln had been dead for a bit and the Civil War was over.... so does this ruling ensure that no president, judicial officer, or bureaucrat can ever again defy the Constitution?
