So, you couldn't come up with a quote supporting your beliefs.
Be it lack of a supreme court or protectionist tariffs or promises to end slavery, Davis ignored his constitution in ways never dreamed of by Lincoln.
It was the duty of the Confederate Congress to set up the Confederate Supreme Court, not Davis'. I've pointed that out to you before and how Davis reminded them of their duty to form the court.
The Confederate Congress passed the tariff act. We've had a long discussion about how protectionist or non-protectionist the Confederate tariff law was. Rmember my citation of the Yale professor's book that stated [Link]:
As was to be expected, the Confederate Congress perfected a revenue measure from which almost every trace of protective motives was removed.
promises to end slavery
To what are you referring?
Davis ignored his constitution in ways never dreamed of by Lincoln.
That hardly seems possible. Surely you remember [Link]
We apparently disagree on a lot of things
Agree.
But hyperbole aside, and knowing what we know about libertarian beliefs, can you please explain to me why a libertarian should love the Davis government?
Sorry, I really don't know much about libertarian thought.
Yeah, poor old Jeff. He really, really wanted a court but darn it all, that congress just wouldn't play along. Davis once said, "The true and only test is to enquire whether the law is intended and calculated to carry out the object; whether it devises and creates an instrumentality for executing the specific power granted; and if the answer be in the affirmative, the law is constitutional." Why would he want an institution that might say he was wrong?
As was to be expected, the Confederate Congress perfected a revenue measure from which almost every trace of protective motives was removed.
Almost every measure? The confederate constitution said that it couldn't be protectionist at all. So it was almost constitutional, is that what you're saying?
To what are you referring?
During the winter of 1864-65, Jefferson Davis sent Duncan Kenner to England and France to obtain recognition in exchange for an end to slavery. Please point out what clause in the confederate constitution gave him the power to make such an offer.
That hardly seems possible. Surely you remember.
Please! All you're pointing out is that Lincoln's actions were subject to judicial review, unlike Davis'. The Supreme Court ruling in Milligan was respected.
Sorry, I really don't know much about libertarian thought.
Then why not Google it and take a guess based on what you find?
