In My Previous Post I Mentioned Fridoon Sadiqi Who Is Suing The UK government,

well he might succeed if he had Clement Larid Vallandigham(1820 - 1871) representing him,

in a Lebanon, Ohio, hotel, 16 June 1871, a gun went off while he was demonstrating to other attorneys how a defendant's supposed victim may have accidentally shot himself, He died there the following day, on the plus side, it worked - his client was acquitted,

at one stage in his life Vallandigham was banished, the Feb. 1864 Supreme Court decision, Ex Parte Vallandigham and his remark at that time that he did not care to live in a country where Lincoln was president, the Court decreed that the Court could not issue a writ of habeas corpus in a military case, and for a Democratic campaign slogan he created May 1862: "The Constitution as it is, the Union as it was." which led to Edward Everett Hale writing "The Man Without a Country" (1863)
