Index
"In 1869, Justice David Davis of the US Supreme Court decided Ex parte Milligan, which
held that citizens could not be tried under military commissions while civilian courts
were still open and there was no war. Beginning already with Ex parte McCardle (1869),
however, the Court seemed to hem in the Milligan precedent and disregarded it in subsequent
cases. By 1991, the case was declared "irrelevant." All of that changed with the War
on Terror and the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. In defense of their use of military
tribunals, the Bush administration cited cases like Ex parte Quirin (1942) that upheld
the use of a military tribunal for Nazi saboteurs. Rejecting such arguments, the Supreme
Court has cited Milligan in four decisions, revitalizing interest in a case that had
long seemed all but overruled. In doing so, the Court also effectively characterized
Reconstruction as a "war on terror"-a war on the terrorist insurgencies against the
assertion of black freedom by the Republican Party, the Union Army, and African Americans
themselves. Ex parte Milligan Reconsidered explores the precedential power of Milligan
and the questions it poses about the Civil War, the War on Terror, and executive power"
