None of the confederates were tried as well so the due process concerns would be a change in the usage of the statute. All you had to do was prove somebody was a confederate and the statute would apply.

Likely the supreme court will say its like a sparkling coup because it doesn't come from the Insurrection region of france and they will bend over backwards for Their Guy (tm)
