      Because this apparently needs saying periodically: Robert E. Lee was a traitor, fought for the slave empire, and should have been summarily executed at the end of the war.

      "Should have been summarily executed"?!

      What I’m hearing is that this may not comport with traditional notions of the law of war? 😇

      What process is “due” in this circumstance seems open to fair debate

      I yield to no one in my awareness of the harm this cult has done but SOUTH was the region of summary justice, the mob, the noose and the bastinado. The victory of the North was a victory for Constitution and Law. Celebrating that victory with a lynching would have been dreadful.

      Describing the hypothetical death of the white leader of the Confederacy as “lynching” seems like a really dissonant comparison

      If done without process that’s what it would have been.

          It would have had process—a summary process, as is often used in many important contexts. Immigrants are removed every day in summary proceedings where no factual questions are at issue. Summary judgment can move billions of dollars around

          If you aren’t comfortable with death, may I suggest not leading an armed rebellion against your nation?

          Oh for heaven’s sake do you think we provide due process to comfort the accused? Really?
