Below is the actual text of the case, that was a case about a man who claimed he was imprisoned unlawfully in the State of Indiana. This case was not about the merits or not of martial law.
The case was about whether the military(Federal government) had the right to declare martial law and suspend habeas corpus(make up an emergency to suit their needs) in a state that was not under seige while the state courts were intact. What was decided was that the government could not just make up emergencies to suit their needs. The guy was guilty as sin and the military sentenced him to hang but the SCOTUS overruled his verdict as unconstitutional and he was released. Whether the state recharged him or not I do not know.
All of the text that you are claiming not to be from the document at the beginning of the clip are in the SCOTUS document that I referenced, which is the actual text from the court decision and is over 140 pages long. That text is stating what rights the government has when it pertains to the military and there are 3 instances that are stated in the decision, which is the text at the beginning of the clip. My quote was from pages 136-137 of the ruling. Maybe the people on Facebook should do more research so they can actually know what they are talking about.
Just to add: One of the lefty news services claim that they tried to find any evidence of the ruling I stated in the document and couldn't. All I can say to that is they didn't look very hard.
