DoodleDawg: "Because of your claim that everybody accepts that slavery was the foundation of the Constitution.
Other than you and Justice Baldwin I'm not aware of anyone who would believe that."

Thanks DoodleDawg for manhandling our pro-Confederate, the alleged Jefferson Democrat.
I see a lot of Democrat in him, almost no Jefferson.

But just so we're clear, our so-called Jeffersonian Democrat has claimed that slavery was not just the US Constitution's "foundation", but explicitly (& obscenely) its "cornerstone" -- thus referring back to the famous speech by Confederate VP Alexander Stephens, where Stephens goes to great lengths to explain how the new Confederate constitution is vastly superior to the old US Constitution precisely because, as their cornerstone Confederates recognized slavery explicitly (& obscenely) in their new constitution.

“... accepts that slavery was the foundation of the Constitution. ....”

We have a NYT Project 1619 contributor\participant on this site?

“. . . thus referring back to the famous speech by Confederate VP Alexander Stephens, where Stephens goes to great lengths to explain how the new Confederate constitution is vastly superior to the old US Constitution . . .”

That is an interesting claim by you.

First things first: in which post on this thread have I referred to the Alexander Stephens speech?
