I suspect some of President Trump's people occasionally scan this board and I'm hoping to get some clarification on something I stumbled across last night.

I was watching a documentary on the assassination of President Lincoln and something they said about military tribunals caused me to do an internet search.

I came across a Supreme court decision called ex parte Milligan. I really tried to find out the answers to my questions without bothering anyone but the internet information was a bit unclear.

BUT...as near as I could determine -- when the Supreme court makes a decision that decision stays as legal precedent unless a future Supreme Court reverses the decision.

I could find no verification online that ex parte Milligan has been reversed. My question is -- where does that leave us in the here and now? For several years, people have been counting on military tribunals to step in and save the day. If I read ex parte Milligan correctly and it has not been reversed -- this concept of military tribunals dealing with these criminals is impossible. Am I mistaken?

Will someone clarify as I would never have thought my interest in history would have dug up something so...I think I want to say disappointing. I believe a lot of people are counting on military tribunals because the court system is so corrupt.

Thank you in advance for your consideration and hopefully an answer to my questions.
